Residents from Virginia Beach s Kempsville community have a rare opportunity to be a part of the city s decision-making process.
Including Mayor Bobby Dyer, there are 11 elected leaders serving the city of Virginia Beach, including three at-large council members and seven who serve individual districts across the city.
District 2 covering Kempsville and the surrounding neighborhoods is now vacant following former councilwoman Jessica Abbott s resignation in early July due to health concerns.
Voters re-elected Abbott in 2020 to serve her second four-year term, after first winning in 2016 at the age of 27. Upon her resignation, Abbott wrote that the decision “weighs heavily on my heart, but my health and family deserve my full attention.”
