CHRISTIANSBURG â Councilman Steve Huppert wonât seek re-election this year.
âThis fall, Iâm going to be 77 years old, and sometimes itâs time for people to move on,â Huppert said in a recent interview. âYouâre always talking about getting new blood into the stream. Thatâs how I feel. Time for me to move on.â
Huppert was first elected to Christiansburg Town Council in 2004, but lost his re-election bid four years later by 41 votes. He won his return to council in 2010 by a margin of just 10 votes and has been on the elected body since. He received the most votes of any candidate during the 2017 election. The townâs municipal election was moved from May to November during Huppertâs tenure.
