VIRGINIA BEACH — The Independent News submitted questions to candidates for City Council and School Board elections in Virginia Beach. Responses appear at the links below.
All of the candidates replied this year. I am grateful for that.
Our newspaper does not make political endorsements. We offer our guide to help citizens make their own decisions. Answers are not edited by us, aside from some minor grammar or style issues.
This year, candidates are listed alphabetically because we printed the guide to precede the start of early voting. Ballot order, which I prefer, was not available when this was compiled.
My deepest thanks go to Rick Friday, who provided our Neptune cover illustration, Charles Apple, who created all of our district maps, and Cortney Morse Doucette, who read behind me.
Thanks also to several contributors who adjusted schedules to free me up to complete the guide and to the Virginia Beach Voter Registration & Elections Department for lots of patience.
