With Tuesday’s filling deadline come and gone, candidates for local offices in Gloucester and Mathews counties have been set.

In Gloucester, there will be several contested races, including two seats on the board of supervisors, treasurer and sheriff. There is also one seat (Abingdon District school board) where no candidates have filed; that vacancy will be decided by write-in votes.

In Mathews, there are six candidates vying for three four-year terms on the board of supervisors. None have yet applied for the two-year vacancy on the board (which has a filing deadline of August). Three candidates are running for the three seats on the school board and the incumbents are unopposed for the constitutional officers on the ballot.
