Click on the candidate’s name to access their websites, where most have links to their Facebook pages and Twitter accounts. Note that * = incumbent. A big kudos to the City of Chesapeake for including on its website the candidate listing and sample ballot (pdf).

I renew my offer to the candidates to submit an article for publication here about why you are running and what you hope to accomplish – or whatever topic you feel the voters in Chesapeake should know. Use the Contact Me link to do so.
