Two Supervisor seats on the ballot in Greene this November, one of them contested

Two seats on the Greene County Board of Supervisors are up for election this November and only one of them is contested.

In the Stanardsville District, incumbent Steve Catalano faces a challenge from Jason Snow. Both are on the ballots as independents.

“I’m a lifelong resident of Greene County, husband to Jessica for 31 years, and proud father of two sons, Steven and Joshua,” Snow wrote on his campaign’s Facebook page. “Our family has deep roots in this community, and we value faith, family, and community.”

Catalano is in his second stint on the Board of Supervisors having served from 1999 to 2011. He returned in 2024 after being appointed to fill the vacancy left with the resignation of Abbey Heflin. He won election to a one-year in November 2024.

Catalano also has a campaign site on Facebook. In one of his posts, he said local governments should be run like a business.

“My proven record of experience and leadership will put us in the best place possible as we move forward with some complicated changes and challenges coming our way,” reads that post.

This week, the Charlottesville Association of Realtors endorsed Catalano in this year’s race.

“We commend all individuals who step forward to serve their communities through public office,” said Josh White, 2025 President of CAAR. “We do not endorse candidates based on political affiliation, but rather on their alignment with our core belief that private property rights are fundamental to democracy and that diverse housing options are essential for thriving communities. Contested races lead to stronger campaigns and better public policy outcomes.”

Incumbent Marie Durrer opted to not seek an additional term in the Midway District and Matthew Hartung is the only one candidate on the ballot.

“In my current role as a Regulatory Compliance Manager in the electric sector, I navigate complex policies, ensuring safety, efficiency, and accountability,” reads a portion of Hartung’s website. “These experiences equip me to advocate for practical, informed solutions to our county’s challenges.”

Early voting begins on September 19 and the last day to register is October 24. For more information, visit the Virginia Department of Elections.
