CHATHAM --
Nancy Barbour Smith plans to take on Tim Barber again for the Tunstall seat on the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors.
Smith filed papers to run against Barber, an incumbent and the board’s chairman, Tuesday night in Chatham.
“We need someone that will work for the people, not (for) what I think is important, but what is right for the entire county,” Smith said during an interview at the county registrar’s office in Chatham, just minutes before the 7 p.m. deadline to file Tuesday night to be on the Nov. 8 ballot.
Danville-Pittsylvania Regional Industrial Facility Authority related to the Berry Hill industrial mega park. She said she supports attracting clean industry to the park that would not pollute the land, air or water in Pittsylvania County.
“We need jobs,” Smith said.
Smith opposes mining the uranium at Coles Hill six miles northeast of Chatham. Virginia Uranium Inc. proposes to mine and mill the deposit.
Smith said she wants to make sure the Board of Supervisors follows the law. How can the county’s children be law-abiding citizens when the board is not? Smith asked.
On the board of supervisors, Frank Fox are vying for the Chatham-Blairs seat held by Hank Davis, who will retire at the end of the year.
James T. DeHart will try to unseat incumbent Coy Harville from the Westover seat on the board of supervisors.
Jessie Barksdale faces no challenger in his bid for the Banister seat held by William Pritchett, who will retire this year.
Jerry A. Hagerman is running against incumbent Fred Ingram for the Callands-Gretna seat while Dan River Supervisor James Snead faces no opponent this year.
