ELECTIONS

NEXT ELECTION

Virginia is holding a Gubernatorial Election November 4, 2025.
We will be electing a new Governor (replacing Glenn Youngkin with Winsome-Earl-Sears, R,) and selecting the holders of Virginia Attorney General (Jason Miyares, incumbent) and a new Lt. Governor (State Senator John Reid, R).

In addition to these 3 state wide offices, Northumberland voters will have some local, County and/or Voting District (1,2,3,4,or 5) elections as well as a County Wide vote on a Referendum Question to change the means of becoming a representative on the Northumberland School Board.

See the information below for details on these races.

District 2 Supervisor :       Currently sitting BoS Chair, Richard Haynie, in this race for District 2 Supervisor,  is fully supported by the Republican Party of Northumberland County (NCRC). In other spaces on this webpage, one can find our rational for our support. Please see these important key points favoring Chair Haynie. His opponent IS NOT affiliated or associated in any way with NCRC. For this reason, we take no stand on his candidacy, other than to heavily favor Mr. Haynie for which we have created a “BACKGROUNDER” on our Republican candidate.

Read our biography and experience review of Mr. Haynie’s contributions to this county. The following .pdf document can be read online, downloaded and printed at home,and then distributed to friends and voters not reviewing these pages. these Read the

Referendum: The question before the voters on Nov 4 is ”Shall the method of selecting the school board be changed from direct election by the voters to appointment by the governing body?” The effort to extend this initiative is citizen led and not specifically supported by either local or State political party. The comparison shown via the web link provided, goes directly to the Northumberland County BoS web pages which further states this position.

The link HERE is to an unbiased explanation of what the change from Elected Board to Appointed Board is about, and a presentation of the means by which new School Board members would be selected.

The Virginia Mercury (By: Nathaniel Cline – October 2, 2025)

You will note when reading the Supervisor comments, our currently elected School Board is made up of a vast array of Individuals, many without any school management experience. Only recently (2024 & 2022) have citizens of Northumberland been able to elect individuals with qualified individuals with school management experience. It is the position of this Republican Committee that this is a completely non-partisan issue which all citizens of this county should be interested in. They are the property tax payers which have charge in selecting School Board representation.

As such, the Rappahannock Record (October 16^th edition), ran an article titled “Election 2025: Harris Challenges Haynie for Supervisor In Northumberland”. Each candidate was asked to provide answers to five key questions regarding their ideas for our county. This is being provided by NCRC ONLY as a public service to our residents.

As a safety measure, the NCRC Webmaster has provided this .pdf document (read below) which is a complete transcript of the original RR article. You may download to print at your home printer, or just scroll down and read.
