Tim Snyder is seeking the Republican nomination to represent Amsterdam District on the Botetourt County Board of Supervisors for a four-year term.

On his campaign website, Snyder emphasizes his commitments to conservative leadership,

infrastructure and recreation, public safety, supporting law enforcement, a sound approach to planning and growth, and fostering economic development.

"Tim Snyder 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 Tim 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.”

In a February Fincastle Herald piece announcing his candidacy, Snyder revealed that he grew up on a family farm in Botetourt County and has lived in Amsterdam District for 27 years. He graduated from Lord Botetourt High School, and after attending National Business College and Virginia Western Community College, he graduated from the Roanoke College Management Institute.

Currently, he works as Director of Information Technology at Virginia Lutheran Home, Inc., and additionally, he is president and owner of GSS Computer Technology.

Snyder also has an extensive record of service to his community. He currently represents Amsterdam District on the Botetourt County Planning Commission, following ten years of service on the Botetourt County Parks and Recreation Commission, according to the article.

He has also served as president of the Greenfield Booster Club, as a coach for Recreation League football, baseball and softball teams, as an assistant scoutmaster for Boy Scouts of America Troop 333 in Fincastle, and as curriculum advisor for the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Roanoke Valley program. He is also an Eagle Scout, having achieved the rank in 1986.

The board comprises five supervisors who are elected to staggered four-year terms and acts as the county's legislative body. Responsibilities include enacting laws, establishing policies, approving budgets, and appointing citizens to various boards, commissions, and committees.

The primary election will be held on June 17. Snyder is running in the GOP primary against Dirk Padgett.
