Charlotte County Board of Supervisors candidate Bowman Smith’s re-election endorsed by property rights group
Hazel Bowman Smith, a Charlotte County Board of Supervisors candidate for the Wylliesburg-Red Oak District, has been endorsed for re-election by the Private Property Rights Institute (PPRI), an advocacy group for economic rights for property owners.
“Private property rights is the foundation of our democracy and the cornerstone of a free economy,” PPRI spokesman Dom Arzon said. “That’s why we are proud to endorse Hazel Bowman Smith, who we believe shares these values.”
Bowman Smith, an Independent, has served on the board for four years. She is running against fellow Independent J. Miller Adams, a farmer from Red Oak.
Bowman Smith is currently an independent sales representative for AVON, but she previously worked as a disability specialist and financial analyst at Virginia Tech. She also worked at the Charlotte County Department of Social Services as well as the Prince Edward County Department of Social Services.
The focus of her campaign is pushing for 24/7 rescue squad coverage, increased school funding, economic development and increased jobs, addressing population decline, supporting fire department volunteers and access to broadband internet for all in the county.
The election is November 11, but early in-person voting starts September 19. You can also request a mail-in ballot up until October 24. More information can be found here.
