Re-Elect Republican
Charla Bansley
District 3 Supervisor for
Bedford County
Hi, I'm Charla Bansley.
I'm running for re-election to represent District 3
on Bedford County's Board of Supervisors.
For over seven years, I've worked tirelessly to deliver real results for Bedford County residents.
🔹 Protected Taxpayers – Balanced the budget without ever voting to raise taxes.
🔹 Strengthened Public Safety – Added 6 new deputies to protect our community and 14 school resource officers to protect our children. Funded our first responders so we can recruit and retain quality staff.
🔹 Expanded Broadband Access – Delivered high-speed internet to underserved areas in District 3, improving connectivity for families, businesses, and students.
🔹 Defended Our Rural Heritage – Fought against urban sprawl by following the Bedford County Comprehensive Plan that restricts development in the areas where the County has water and sewer infrastructure. Voted against the corporate solar attempt to take over our farmland.
🔹 Supported Smart Economic Growth – Attracted businesses and promoted job creation while maintaining Bedford’s agricultural values.
But there is still much to do. That's why I'm asking for your support for my reelection. I remain passionate about keeping your taxes low, attracting more jobs and businesses to our county, and supporting law enforcement who keep our families community safe.
“Charla Bansley is a true champion for Public Safety and steadfast supporter of your Sheriff’s Office—all without raising taxes.
I proudly support her re-election.“
