Supervisor Tom Shepperd earned his fourth term on the York County Board of Supervisors, facing no opposition in his re-election bid.
Shepperd, a Republican who has been on the board since 2002, represents District 5.
Virginia Department of Elections’ unofficial results show Shepperd collected 1,969 votes, or 98.65 percent of the ballots cast. Write-in candidates received 27 votes, or 1.35 percent.
District 5 has 8,297 registered voters.
Shepperd will be joined on the Board of Supervisors by incumbents Walt Zaremba and Sheila Noll, both of whom ran unopposed, as well as newcomers Chad Green and Jeff Wassmer. All five are Republicans.
All election results are considered unofficial until a formal results review, which begins Wednesday, is completed and all provisional ballots are counted.
Shepperd said he decided to run for another term because he wanted to continue to not only be a part of the county’s growth but a part of communicating those changes to the public.
