Rodney Sterling Thomas (R) is a 2009 candidate for the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors from the Rio Magisterial District and a former member of the Albemarle County Planning Commission[1]. Thomas is the President of Charlottesville Press.
Thomas was appointed to the Planning Commission by former Supervisor David Bowerman. Thomas was unsuccessful in his bid to get the Republican Party's nomination in June 2005 when Gary Grant was picked to run for the open seat being vacated by Bowerman. Thomas has announced he is again running as a Republican in this election.
Thomas appeared today on WINA AM 1070's Rob Schilling Show to share his announcement. "I will work for the people of the Rio District, and all of Albemarle County," said Thomas. "I plan to knock on every door in the Rio district and find out what people's concerns are."
Thomas discussed his philosophy as a fiscal conservative. "The County needs to find a way to be more conservative with the tax dollars they are taking in," said Thomas. "I don't like the way things are being handled [in local government]....The Board needs to be more accountable [to the people]."
