Board of Supervisors unanimously selected John Lumpkins to an interim appointment for the seat of the late Ned Creasey as
District 3 supervisor.

Lumpkins will take his oath of office soon and serve until a permanent successor
is chosen by District 3 voters in a special election to be held on November 6. His first meeting as a supervisor will be May 1, 2018.
He currently represents District 3 on the Goochland School Board.
Board of Supervisors Chair Ken Peterson, District 5 said that the Board received several expressions of interest in the interim appointment from highly qualified citizens. It was difficult, he said, to separate our emotions on the passing of Supervisor Creasey from the best interests of Goochland County.
Peterson also observed that the interim appointment is an indication of the good relationship between the supervisors and school board by welcoming a school board member onto the board of supervisors.
Lumpkins said that he will resign from his seat on the school board, which will, in turn, appoint an interim member until District 3 voters elect his replacement at the special election on November 6.
