I am running for mayor to help make Richmond a high performing city that is a magnet of opportunity for young people and families, and a more hopeful place for those who have been left behind. I will be a hands-on mayor who will provide basic services well and unite the community to improve schools. Experience matters in running a city, not partisan politics. I will lead and I will be accountable. My campaign will focus on listening to the needs of our residents and addressing them through transparent and effective governance. For those interested in learning more about my vision and plans, interview essays can provide a detailed and personal insight into my motivations and strategies.
