Stephen Grepps seeks election to Augusta County Board of Supervisors

Primary is set for June 17

Stephen Grepps is seeking the Republican nomination to represent Beverley Manor District on the Augusta County Board of Supervisors for a four-year term.

“Stephen Grepps has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to conservative principles and the defense of private property rights,” said Dominic Arzon, chairman of the Private Property Rights PAC.

“We find Stephen to be a strong conservative who will support strong private property rights. His leadership will help ensure that local landowners retain the freedom to control their property, free from unnecessary government interference.”

On his campaign website, Grepps shares that his top priorities as a supervisor will be government transparency and accountability, "a zero-base budget" and responsible stewardship of taxpayers' money, and driving business to Augusta County while also supporting and promoting the County's vital role in Virginia agriculture.

In a post on his campaign's Facebook page, Grepps noted that he received a "Very Pro-Gun" rating from the Virginia Citizens Defense League, and he emphasized that, as a Supervisor, he will be committed to protecting Augusta County's status as a Second Amendment sanctuary county.

Grepps served as a first responder for 44 years. He is the longest active member of

the New Hope Volunteer fire department, and in August, he will retire as a lieutenant

from Augusta County Fire and Rescue after more than 22 years of service. He and his wife Tammy have four children as well as grandchildren.

Grepps is running in the GOP primary against Justin Dimitt, which will be held on June 17.

According to the August County government's webpage, the Board of Supervisors is the administrative body of the county. Its mission statement reads: “The government of Augusta County exists to provide the citizens of the County with essential services which will address their individual and collective well-being. In partnership with the community of residents, the government of Augusta County pledges civic stewardship that is fiscally accountable, socially responsive, and worthy of the citizens' trust.”

The board comprises seven supervisors who are elected to staggered four-year-terms.
