Biography

Snook served on the Charlottesville Planning Commission from 1981 to 1989, including a term as chair in 1988 to 1989.[3] He served on the board of directors of the Piedmont Housing Alliance from 2005 to 2016 and as chair from 2009 to 2016.[4][5]

Snook served as chairman of the Charlottesville Democratic Committee from 2001 to 2004 and on the party's State Central Committee in 2013.[6] He previously ran for Council, unsuccessfully, in 1990.[7] Snook disavowed then-Congressman Virgil Goode in 2000 in the wake of the latter's switch from Democratic to independent.[8]


Electoral history

2019 election

At a February 23, 2019 campaign forum sponsored byLauraPAC, Snook cited his legal career as an asset. [9]

During the campaign, Snook suggested Council should work to help make the Department of Neighborhood Development Services more efficient, and should work to improve the regional transit system. [1]

  • Lloyd Snook as candidate in the 2019 election, noted some of the issues he considers to be most pressing include affordable housing, the achievement gap in City schools and local action on climate change.
To address the achievement gap in City schools, he advocates for increased funding to the City of Promise and Boys and Girls Club programs. With relation to action on climate change, Snook focused on divesting from fossil fuels, making changes to the transportation system and utilizing more solar panels, even in historic areas. To address affordable housing, he plans to support improved transportation, changed zoning, redevelopment of current housing and more streamlined City regulations on auxiliary dwelling units — extra units such as a basement apartment or separate small house situated on low-density property.[10]
