Mayor Kelly Burk won another term unopposed. Brendan Murphy, Neil Steinberg and Todd Cimino-Johnson took the three council seats, and all three county bonds passed.
Mayor Kelly Burk won another two-year term Tuesday, and Brendan Murphy will join the Leesburg Town Council. Council members Neil Steinberg and Todd Cimino-Johnson, the current vice mayor, were reelected to the other two seats.
The figures are unofficial results from the Virginia Department of Elections, with all 11 town precincts reporting.
None of the town races was contested on the ballot. Burk was the only name in the mayor’s race, and three candidates ran for three council seats. The vote counts below set the order of finish.
Mayor
| Candidate | Votes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| C. B. “Kelly” Burk | 16,147 | 93.7% |
| Write-in | 1,088 | 6.3% |
Town Council (three at-large seats)
| Candidate | Votes |
|---|---|
| Brendan W. Murphy | 11,903 |
| Neil R. Steinberg | 10,814 |
| Todd A. Cimino-Johnson | 9,201 |
| Write-in | 1,080 |
Voters could pick up to three council candidates, so the council counts do not add up to the number of people who voted.
Murphy is the only one of the three who does not sit on the council now. Council member Patrick Wilt’s term also ends Dec. 31, and his name was not on the town’s sample ballot. The terms of Burk, Cimino-Johnson, Steinberg and Wilt all end Dec. 31, 2026, according to the town’s council roster on our who to call at Town Hall page.
Council members serve four-year staggered terms and represent the whole town; Leesburg has no council districts. The mayor serves two years.

All three county bond questions passed
Loudoun County voters, including Leesburg’s, approved all three bond questions, with all 107 county precincts reporting. Each lets the county borrow up to a set amount, according to the county’s sample ballot:
| Question | Up to | Yes | No |

| Public school projects | $40,255,000 | 118,045 (66.2%) | 60,137 (33.8%) |
The ballot named these projects:
- Transportation: the Route 15 Lucketts Bypass, a roundabout at Route 15 and Hogback Mountain Road, the Route 50 and Loudoun County Parkway interchange, the Route 7 and Route 287 interchange, and the county’s sidewalk and trail program
- Public safety: the Brambleton Sheriff Station and Fire and Rescue Station #29 at Loudoun Gateway
- Schools: Loudoun County Public Schools’ capital renewal and alterations work and the VIEW Transition Academy
Each question also covers other projects in the county’s Capital Improvement Program.
