Halifax Board of Supervisors candidate Thompson’s election endorsed by property rights group
Monte Thompson, a Halifax County Board of Supervisors candidate for District 6, has been endorsed for 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 Arron said. “That’s why we are proud to endorse Monte Thompson, who we believe shares these values.”
Thompson, an Independent, is running against Independent James Gordon, owner of Springfield Farm and Distillery. Incumbent Stanley Brandon dropped out of the race last month.
Thompson’s campaign supports fire departments, first responders and other law enforcement. He also stands for farmers, creating job opportunities, affordable housing, entertainment for all ages, better secondary roads and smarter tax spending.
He lives in Cluster Springs and is a construction manager for Jacobs Engineering and Construction. He is also a member of Black Walnut Baptist Church, where he serves as a deacon, a trustee and chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee.
District 6 is a magisterial district within Halifax County. The county is divided into eight such districts, and each district elects one supervisor to represent its constituents on the board.
The election is November 11, but early in-person voting started September 19. You can also request a mail-in ballot up until October 24. More information can be found here.
PPRI is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization dedicated to defending the fundamental right to private property ownership, a cornerstone of personal freedom and economic prosperity. Its mission is to protect landowners from government overreach, burdensome regulations, and zoning restrictions that threaten their ability to control their property.
