Ashland is pretty much the liberal holdout in Hanover.

It’s hilarious that I’m getting downvoted when I actually live here.

Ashland is a liberal holdout? Barely.

I'm going on Board of Supervisors representation here. Also, higher education! For Hanover it's as close to liberal as it gets!

There is not a single democrat on the board of supervisors. What are you talking about?

Faye Prichard. Ashland district Supervisor. First D to serve on the BoS in 30 years.

She’s so ineffective I didn’t even realize she was Democrat.

That's a shit get-out. She does as well as anyone who isn't a Hanover R can do on a board of Hanover Rs.

Further - Hanover county as well as the board of supervisors and the school Board have succumbed to Christian Nationalism and this is an opinion piece describing this. WaPo Christian Nationalism Klanover

Do you live in the town limits? In the neighborhood I'm in (west of the track and south of Hanover Ave) there was almost exclusively Dem campaign signs in the yards.
