Liz Doerr
1st District
The West End council district will be represented by two millennials. Andreas Addison edged Harry Warner by less than 3 percentage points in the three-way race to fill outgoing Councilman Jon Baliles’ seat. School Board incumbent Dawson Boyer’s stint on the board was short lived. He lost his seat to challenger Liz Doerr, who held a 2-to-1 vote advantage over the incumbent after winning several key endorsements in the run-up to Election Day.
2nd District
Kimberly Gray
Two-term School Board representative Kimberly Gray overcame a fundraising disadvantage to win outgoing Councilman Charles Samuels’ open seat. Gray bested developer Charlie Diradour and former VCU student Rebecca Keel in the three-way race. Replacing Gray on the School Board is Scott Barlow, another millennial candidate who won convincingly over his opponent, Mariah White.
3rd District
Longtime Councilman Chris Hilbert won reelection handily over his four opponents. So, too, did School Board Chairman Jeff Bourne. Bourne, an ally of RPS Superintendent Dana Bedden, is the only School Board incumbent to retain his seat.
Kristen Larson
4th District
School Board representative Kristen Larson emerged from a five-person field to win the open seat vacated by the retiring Kathy Graziano. Filling Larson’s School Board seat is Jonathan Young, one of the surprise winners of the night. Young bested Barrett Hardiman, the endorsed Democrat, by a margin of 2-to-1.
5th District
Incumbent Parker Agelasto easily won a second four-year term to council. He’ll have a new counterpart on the School Board. Challenger Patrick Sapini ousted incumbent Mamie Taylor with a 2-percentage-point win.
Patrick Sapini
6th District
Incumbent Ellen Robertson survived her toughest challenge to date, beating challenger Donald Moss by double digits to retain her seat. Shonda Harris-Muhammed, the district’s incumbent School Board representative, didn’t fare as well. Challenger Felicia Cosby earned two out of three votes cast to unseat her.
7th District
Felicia Cosby
Incumbent Cynthia Newbille won reelection comfortably over challenger Josh Williams. In the race to replace retiring School Board representative Donald Coleman, Nadine Marsh-Carter bested Kirsten Gray in the East End district.
8th District
Behind the strongest mandate for any incumbent, Reva Trammell has earned another term on council. Dawn Page will replace outgoing School Board representative Derik Jones in the South Richmond district.
9th District
Michael Jones will fill the seat vacated by outgoing Council President and Richmond mayoral candidate Michelle Mosby. Linda Owen, who ran unopposed, will represent the South Richmond district on the School Board.
