What is an “At-Large” City Councilman?

The City of Virginia Beach has an 11-member City Council with representatives for Bayside, Kempsville, Centerville, Beach, Lynnhaven, Rose Hall and Princess Anne. These members of the Virginia Beach City Council are required to live in the district they represent.

The remaining members of the City Council are the Mayor and three “At-Large” members who represent citizens citywide while having no restrictions as to where in the City of Virginia Beach they must reside in order to serve as a member of City Council.

Councilman Bill DeSteph is currently serving his second term as an “At-Large” Councilman and lives in the Great Neck area of Virginia Beach.

When he is not out serving the citizens of Virginia Beach, Bill DeSteph is an avid cyclist,  car enthusiast, philanthropist, hang-glider, boater and outdoorsman.
