Henry A. “Hank” Davis Jr., the chairman of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors, is expected to announce his candidacy for the 19th District Virginia Senate seat Friday during a series of four stops in the sprawling three-county district.
Davis, a Democrat, will hold announcements on the Danville courthouse steps (9 a.m.), the Pittsylvania County courthouse steps (11 a.m.), the Franklin County courthouse steps (1 p.m.) and in front of the Altavista library (3 p.m.).
The 19th District includes Danville, Pittsylvania and Franklin counties and a portion of Campbell County. Robert Hurt holds the seat today, but his Nov. 2 election to Congress means he will soon resign the seat and a special election will be held to replace him. Already, four Republicans have announced their own campaigns for Hurt’s seat.
