Anne Holton (D) will run for her Richmond School Board seat in November's special election

Anne Holton has been involved in campaigns since she was 5 years old. But this is the first time she’s on the ballot herself.

After nearly three months of serving on the Richmond School Board, she told The Richmonder that she will be running for the 6th District seat in the upcoming special election in November. The seat was previously held by Shonda Harris-Muhammed, who left the dais unexpectedly last December to become the acting superintendent of Southampton County Public Schools.

Holton, who is married to U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-Virginia), was selected to fill the role on an interim basis in February, a role which was also sought by four other candidates. She is the first and currently only candidate on the ballot.

Richmond Public Schools has a lot of good things going for it, Holton said, and she wants to be part of moving the needle further.
