Schieber Wins Garrisonville

NEW INFORMATION

Garrisonville Supervisor Ty Schieber starts today knowing he has a permanent seat on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors.

An interim Supervisor since January, the Republican Schieber solidified his position on the Board with a win in an election held exclusively in his Garrisonville District, beating out Democratic challenger John “Jac” Starkey with 65 percent of the vote.

While he’s happy about his win, Schieber said it’s not a time for celebration.

“It’s really business as usual, and the great thing is now that the campaign is over I get to dedicate my entire focus to doing the work of the people,” said Schieber.

About seven percent of the electorate in the Garrisonville District turned out to vote on Tuesday.

“We anticipated low voter turn out from the onset given the time of election. That’s why it was so important for us to spend as much time in the community as we could, meeting as many people as we could,” said Schieber.

Of his opponent, Schieber said he met Starkey for the first time on Tuesday, said he ran a good campaign, and that Starkey has offered to work with him on issues that will affect the district going forward.

Schieber and the rest of the County Board of Supervisors now turn their attention to a public hearing scheduled tonight at the Board Chambers in Stafford, where residents will get to speak out on the proposed 2013 budget.

ORIGINAL POST 8:15 P.M. TUESDAY 

NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — The Republican group of seven will remain intact.

Ty Schieber will keep his seat as the Garrisonville District Supervisor, a position he’s held on an interim basis since he was unanimously appointed by six of the seven members of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors in January.

Schieber replaces Delegate Mark Dudenhefer, R-Stafford, Woodbridge — who abstained from the vote that appointed Schieber. Dudenhefer served as Garrisonville District Supervisor from 2005 to 2012 and as Chairman from 2010 to 2012. He now serves in Virginia’s House of Delegates in Richmond.

Schieber easily beat out Democratic challenger and political newcomer John “Jac” Starkey with 65 percent of the vote.

Only voters in the Garrisonville District in Stafford County were invited to the polls today, and only four polling places were open to voters. Voter turnout was low, as just 870 votes were cast today with 11,444 registered voters living in the Garrisonville District.

Schieber and Starkey could not immediately be reached for comment.

Before moving to the Board of County Supervisors in January he served on the county’s School Board from 2010 to 2012. Schieber is a vice-president of an Aquia Town Center based technology firm and lives with his wife and three children on Hampshire Court in North Stafford’s Hampton Oaks subdivision.

All eight Supervisors on the county’s Board are Republicans. Griffis-Widewater District Supervisor Jack Cavalier won his current seat on the Board in the fall 2011 elections running as an independent. Cavalier previously served on the Board prior to his current term, elected the first time in 1999 and later serving as Chairman in 2004 and 2007, and Vice-Chairman in 2002 and 2006.

The current Stafford County Board of Supervisors Chairman is Susan Stimpson.
