Plaugher wins Democratic nomination for Brookland seat
Table of Contents
Democrat Danny Plaugher won an assembled caucus at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen today to earn the party's nomination for the Brookland District supervisor's seat.
Plaugher defeated pastor Justin House to earn his second nomination in three years; he lost in a general election to longtime Brookland Supervisor Dick Glover in 2015 but earned nearly 40 percent of the vote.
In a Nov. 6 special election – scheduled the same day as the general election – Plaugher will face the winner of the Republican Party's nomination, either Brookland District School Board member Bev Cocke or RMC Events President Dan Schmitt. Republicans will select their candidate during an unassembled canvass, also at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen, Thursday, Aug. 16 from noon to 7 p.m.
The winner of that election will serve the final year of the four-year term originally won by Glover in that 2015 election, then vacated by his death last February, filled by Democrat Courtney Lynch during a special election last November and then vacated by Lynch June 30 following her brief and tumultuous time on the board.
