ormer Stafford County Supervisor Mark Dudenhefer plans to run for another term on the board of supervisors.
He served as a supervisor from 2005 to 2011, two of those years as the board chairman. Dudenhefer, who once led the Garrisonville District and left for a stint as a 2nd District delegate, said in January that he would not seek re-election.
He said then that it was clear that he could better serve God, his family and fellow man by pursuing a different course. Dudenhefer was a delegate in Richmond for two terms. He won the seat in
2011, then lost it to Michael Futrell in 2013. In 2015, he was elected again. Laura Sellers currently represents the Garrisonville District on the board of supervisors. She ran her campaign as a Democrat but then left the Democratic Party. She plans to run again as an independent, facing Dudenhefer and any Republican challenger.
