Arlington County treasurer (D) announces retirement, setting stage for special election
Carla de la Pava, who has served as Arlington treasurer for nearly 12 years, announced Wednesday night (July 1) she would be retiring by mid-month.
Her departure is likely to trigger a special election held in conjunction with the Nov. 3 general election.
De la Pava cited “increasing family commitments” for her decision during remarks to the Arlington County Democratic Committee.
Under state law, the chief deputy treasurer, Kim Rucker, assumes de la Pava’s role. Rucker has served as chief deputy during most of de la Pava’s tenure.
