Plan to attend and meet the candidates at a public forum at 7 p.m. Oct. 19 at Amherst County High School auditorium.
ACVDNClaudia Tucker and Bonnie Limbrick are running for the District 2 seat to be vacated by Vernon Wood.
Current board Chairman Leon Parrish and Frank Campbell are competing for the District 5 seat, which includes Old Town Madison Heights.
Tucker and Limbrick have served on the county’s planning commission and Tucker is a current member. Parrish, who has the longest tenure of any supervisor on the board, is running for his fifth term.
Bob Wimer, retired editorial page editor of The News & Advance, has agreed to serve as moderator for the event.
At the forum, the public can familiarize themselves with the candidates and find out their intentions, plans and goals for the county.
Claudia Tucker who set up the meet and greet also encouraged incumbent supervisors to attend the forum.

What a shame that Ms. Tucker could not have invited the other candidates BEFORE she advertised or arranged the venue...she has known all along that no one else was coming, yet continued to call county residents up until the 18th to advertise a "forum". She has misrepresented this "forum" from the beginning as a huge publicity stunt! I think the school system should charge her for the use of ACHS. And this is the kind of integrity we want on the Board of Supervisors? The only qualifications Ms Tucker can come up with when asked is that she "thinks outside of the box", which I can only assume means she is devious and less than truthful. We do not need a party planner on the board..we need a voice of reason and experience who has integrity. Vote for Bonnie Limbrick!
