This fall, many of King George County’s nearly 20,000 registered voters will head to the polls to vote on two school board and two board of supervisors seats. Out of the four races, three are uncontested. County voters will also help decide the winner of the 67th District House of Delegates seat, as the county makes up nearly 30% of the district.
Statewide races for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general are also on the ballot. Here’s what to expect.
Unless specified, the links you see below will take you to the candidate’s profile on the Virginia Public Access project, which has information about campaign finances and more.
