Vienna Town Council Election: Who's Seeking Re-Election

VIENNA, VA — All of Vienna Town Council's seats will be up for election in November 2023, and a few current members won't be running.

As reported in the Vienna Voice newsletter, Councilmembers Nisha Patel, Steve Potter and Ed Somers will not seek re-election. Mayor Linda Colbert and Councilmembers Chuck Anderson, Ray Brill and Howard Springsteen intend to run for re-election.

Vienna's town elections are now happening in November rather than May due to a change in Virginia local elections law. Town Council and mayor positions are now up for election at the same time rather than the previous staggered two-year terms.

The town election will take place on Nov. 7, 2023. Only registered voters living within Town of Vienna limits will vote in the mayoral and Town Council election.

In the Town of Vienna, there will also be Nov. 7 elections for the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors chairman and Hunter Mill District supervisor, at-large School Board representatives, Hunter Mill District School Board representative, Fairfax County commonwealth's attorney, Fairfax County sheriff, and Fairfax County clerk of Circuit Court.
