Your Vote Shapes Suffolk's Future | Virginia Beach News

Nonpartisan contests mean you’re voting on vision, not party labels. Key matchups include John Rector vs. Tyron Riddick and Dwight James in Suffolk Borough (with Riddick also running for School Board); Shelley Butler Barlow vs. Mary Hill in Chuckatuck; Leroy Bennett vs. Will Smith in Cypress (where Karen Jenkins runs unopposed on School Board); and Timothy Johnson unopposed in Holy Neck, while DawnMarie Brittingham faces Wendy VanHosen. Your vote isn’t just a checkbox—it’s the key to building a safer, more prosperous Suffolk. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
