Hampton Council and School Board Races | Virginia Beach News

Hampton’s City Council and School Board are heating up with high-stakes races, drama, and history on the line. Three council seats are open in an all-at-large election, with incumbents Steven Brown, Michelle Ferebee, and Martha Mugler all seeking re-election — but they’re facing stiff competition from challengers Chris Bowman (who was censured and ousted after a 2023 extortion scandal), Joseph Griffith (a Planning Commission member), and Aaron Weaver (a familiar face returning to the fray). Meanwhile, the School Board sees veteran incumbents Joseph Kilgore, Richard Mason, and Jason Samuels vying to stay in power, challenged by Natalie Kidd — a Hampton alum who narrowly missed election two years ago. All races are nonpartisan, with no primaries, but voters will soon have to decide who leads Hampton — as congressional primaries loom just around the corner on August fourth.
