Shelley S. Butler Barlow

Shelley Butler Barlow represents Chuckatuck Borough on Suffolk City Council in a term ending December 31, 2026. The city records her appointment in 2021 and election in 2022. A farmer at Cotton Plains Farm, she brings an agricultural background and a Virginia Tech agriculture degree to the office.

Her official biography describes service with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services board, Virginia Tech’s Board of Visitors and the National Cotton Board. That experience connects local land-use decisions with the working farms and rural economy that are part of Suffolk. Residents considering a development proposal can ask how its infrastructure, drainage and access fit with surrounding uses.

The borough’s official page provides both contact information and a representation map. A borough boundary identifies an electoral area; it should not be used as a school-attendance map. For council business, review the proposal and supporting documents before commenting. Butler Barlow remains the current representative until the lawful transition, even when unofficial election returns point toward a different incoming member.
