The results are in: Democrat-backed candidate Christina Brady will represent Clover Hill on the county school board for the next year.

[With nearly 58% of the overall vote](https://enr.elections.virginia.gov/results/public/chesterfield-county/elections/2026-November-General) as of 10 p.m. on Tuesday night, Brady has the necessary margin to defeat Elizabeth Schultz — who previously served on the Fairfax County school board as well as in the Youngkin and Trump administrations — and grassroots write-in candidate Anne Craft Taydus.

It’s the lone school board race in Chesterfield. Former school board member Dot Heffron resigned following backlash after she made comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death. Jenna Darby served as the district’s interim representative since January, but opted not to run. She instead endorsed Brady.

The only other uniquely Chesterfield election on the county’s ballot was for Dale District supervisor. With no Republican opponent, incumbent LeQuan Hylton was the de facto winner after he won the [Democratic primary in August](https://www.richmonder.org/incumbent-lequan-hylton-wins-special-election-to-chesterfield-board-of-supervisors/).

Both Hylton and Brady will hold their seats for the next year, but will have to campaign again during the 2027 election cycle if they choose to run.

During a September interview, Brady said she wants to shift the conversation away from culture-war topics and onto ensuring students have the resources they need for success, whether that’s food, in-school care or transportation help.

Brady, who has a background in IT, will also look to reduce screen time on all levels of schooling — particularly elementary.

“We know that kids who aren’t doing well, who are unhappy, who are tired, who aren’t fed, aren’t going to learn as well as a kid who is getting those needs met,” Brady said. “I think it’s really important that we figure out how to meet as many needs as possible.”
