Election for Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney set for March 10
NORFOLK

A special election will be held March 10 to determine the city’s next Commonwealth’s Attorney.

The office came open when former Commonwealth’s Attorney Jack Doyle left to become a Circuit
Court judge. His chief deputy, Robert Slaughter, has stepped into the job in the interim.

Only one person has announced his candidacy for the post: prosecutor Greg Underwood will seek the
Democratic nomination. If elected, Underwood would be the city’s first black constitutional officer since
1993.
