2019 is the year we elect our local government as well as our Virginia Senator and Delegate.

This November, we vote to fill all five Board of Supervisor positions, four Constitutional Officers and all five School Board positions.

If you’re interested in running for any of these offices, contact Karen M. Bartlett, NKC Registrar at 804-966-9699, kmbartlett@newkent-va.us.  Ms. Bartlett provides guidance on how to submit your application and supporting documentation.  Deadline to apply to run as a Democrat or Republican is March 28.

To run as a “party” candidate (Republican or Democrat), you must also obtain the nomination of the local party committee.  Contact info is provided below:

Great News:  Our newly created Partnership for New Kent 2030 (PNK2030)  may also be a valuable source of support for your candidacy.  PNK2030 will soon begin interviews of potential candidates to determine if their political outlook and beliefs support PNK2030 initiatives.  PNK203 has no party affiliation – we are looking to support the best candidates who share our beliefs, regardless of a D, R or I designation.  Review material on this website or at our facebook page to learn more about PNK2030 initiatives and philosophy.  To arrange an interview with PNK2030, contact Joe Dombrowski at 804-932-8240 or 703-474-9804 or joe@newkentwinery.com.  Time is of the essence – contact Joe soonest!
