On
November 4, 2003, Virginia Senate and House seats will be put into play
(e.g. incumbent Democrats Creigh Deeds and Mitch Van Yahres
and incumbent Republican Rob Bell come up for election),
Creigh Deeds says that he "intends to run for reelection next year.
That, in addition to practicing law, enjoying my family and the job of being
a state Senator, will keep me plenty busy for now. I enjoy public service
and will keep my options open for future years."

Last time around, Democratic Delegate Mitch Van Yahres made an annoucement
about his future political plans a couple weeks after the conclusion of
the session of the Virginia General Assembly.

| Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney
Odds are that Republican Jim Camblos, who seems to enjoy his job, will
run again." |
Who of these incumbents will choose to run again? Who will bow out? Who
will their challengers be?
| Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
In 1999,
Eric Strucko challenged
Walter Perkins for a seat on the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors in
the White Hall District. Word is, he might be interested in doing so again. |
Will political parties or political candidates elect to have a primary
on June 10th?
| Albemarle County School Board
"During introductions, Koleszar, a seven-year member of the Albemarle
School Board and its current chairman, announced that he is presently "considering"
a run for a third four-year term. In 1999, Koleszar won his second term
as the Scottsville District representative by a 1664 to 1085 vote count
over Harold Pillar. In 1995, he won his first term on the Board by defeating
Elizabeth Way by a margin of 1546 to 1450 votes. The only announced candidate
in the 2003 Albemarle County School Board races is Gary Grant, the At-large
member, currently in the third year of his first four-year term. Grant announced
his intention to seek re-election nearly a year ago on November 7, 2001
and filed official Campaign Organization and Campaign Finance records at
that time under the Committee name of "Re-elect Gary Grant to the School
Board." Grant won his first term on the Board with 8,086 votes to Corey
Carter's 4,558 and Jewel Mason's 3,553 votes. Two other School Board seats
will be up for election in 13 months: White Hall (currently held by Chuck
Ward) and Rivanna (currently held by Ken Boyd)."
