In the community:

Chesterfield residents will have the opportunity to vote on the Community Facilities Bond Plan, Board of Supervisors members and representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections on Oct. 8. 

The House election for Clover Hill’s district, Virginia’s first congressional district, will be between Democrat Herb Jones, Republican Rob Wittman and Independent David Foster. Wittman, the incumbent, has represented the district since 2007. The other half of Chesterfield will vote for either incumbent Democrat Donald McEachin, who is trying to win a fourth term, or Republican Leon Benjamin in the race for Virginia’s fourth congressional district. 

The race for the Board of Supervisors member from the Midlothian district is between Republican Jennifer McNinch and Democrat Mark Miller. 

Finally, the bond referendum will decide whether or not Chesterfield County will invest millions of dollars into public schools, public safety, public libraries and parks and recreation projects. The total amount of money in all the proposals combined equals $540 million.

Chesterfield County’s Department of Community Enhancement is offering two million dollars to nonprofit organizations in the form of grants for providing affordable housing. Chesterfield obtained the money through federal funding.
