RICHMOND, VA (Rocktown Now) — Governor Abigail Spanberger has ordered flags at half-staff Thursday, February 12.

The governor says this is in memory and respect for former Delegate Charles Poindexter and to “honor his decades of unwavering commitment to serving the Commonwealth and his impact on his community.”

Poindexter passed away last week. He served for Virginia’s 9th district.

Flags should be lowered at half-staff at sunrise and remain at half-staff until sunset.
