Thrift and Powers qualify for Urbanna town council race

Two residents, Jim B. Thrift and Lisa M. Powers, have filed and are qualified as candidates running for a seat on the Urbanna Town Council.

As of Tuesday, Robert E. “Robbie” Wilson III is the only person who has filed and is a candidate to run for Urbanna Town mayor.

Four seats open

The position of Urbanna mayor and three members of the Urbanna Town Council will be on the Nov. 3 ballot. Urbanna terms expiring on Dec. 31 include ones for Mayor Bill Goldsmith; and council members Larry Chowning, Merri Hanson and Beth Justice Stewart. All four have said they will not seek re-election.

If Wilson is elected mayor, that would leave a vacancy on the six-member town council.

All Urbanna terms for the upcoming election are for four years and begin on Jan. 1, 2027.

The deadline to file is June 16 at 7 p.m.
