City of Charlottesville
The city of Charlottesville, Virginia, will hold general elections for two city council seats, three positions on the school board, commonwealth's attorney, sheriff, commissioner of revenue, and treasurer.
City Council
Two seats held by Incumbent Juandiego Wade (D) and Incumbent Brian Pinkston (D) are up for this election. Charlottesville is one of only four cities in Virginia that will hold city council elections this year.[2] Democrats have controlled the city council for the past 155 years - except for a single two-year term following the 1968 election when Republicans held a 3 to 2 majority. Rob Schilling was the last Republican to sit on this body after winning in the 2002 election. Michael Farruggio and Party Chair Charles “Buddy” Weber are the last Republicans to run for this office, they both lost in the 2013 election.
