About the Race
The election for Poquoson City Council’s Western Precinct seat is held on November 3, 2020, and shares a ballot with the U.S. presidential election. Each city precinct elects its representative for the City Council. Incumbent councilman David Hux is running unopposed for re-election.
About the District
Poquoson is an independent city in Hampton Roads, located near York County, with a population of just over 12,000. The district is reliably Republican with the GOP winning the city in every presidential election for over twenty years. During his 2018 run for Congress, Scott Taylor (R) earned over 70% of the vote in Poquoson.
Recommendation
David Hux, an employee of Newport News Shipbuilding, is running unopposed for re-election in Poquoson’s Western Precinct.
Hux wants to preserve the small-town atmosphere of Poquoson and properly fund public services such as police, schools, and firefighters.
In 2019, Poquoson’s City Council unanimously voted to make the city a sanctuary for second amendment rights and to authorize the purchase of a tank for Poquoson’s shared police department with York County.
There is very little information about Hux publicly available.
Given Hux’s support for gun rights and police militarization, and a lack of other information about him, we do not recommend this race. You have the option to write in a candidate of your choosing.

About the State
Every eligible voter may cast a ballot in the presidential election. The majority of the U.S. population has voted Democratic for the last twenty-eight years, except 2004. However, the allocation of electoral college votes led to Republicans taking the White House in two of those seven elections. Turnout is typically higher during presidential election years, though 2018 saw the highest record turnout for a non-presidential election since 1914, with 50.3% of the electorate turning out to vote. Turnout for the 2016 election was at 55.7%. In 2008, when the nation elected President Barack Obama (D), turnout was 58.2% but dropped to 54.9% in 2012.
