The people of Richmond have limitless potential, if only our government would have the right priorities. Those priorities are putting our schools and neighborhoods first.

We Deserve Better
Better Schools, Better Roads, Better City Services
For so long now, the leadership of Richmond has had misplaced priorities.
Richmond is an amazing city with a lot to offer. That is why I chose to live here, to buy a home here, and to start my business here. I chose the City of Richmond in spite of its government and services, not because of them.
The administration of the City has always been a mess. Each new leader brings high hopes, and then with each new leader eventually we are left disappointed
This is because instead of prioritizing fixing core services, the mayors of Richmond focus on huge projects to make themselves a legacy.
It is time we demand better.

Better Schools
We must do 3 things.
1. Addressing the falling graduation rates.
2. Our school buildings are falling apart around our kids.
3. We must rework our curriculum to meet the needs of Richmond’s children.
We must put schools first and our kids first because that is what they deserve.
Better Roads, Sidewalks, & Transit
Right now are roads are full of potholes, the sidewalks either don’t exist or are in disrepair, and the bus system lacks coverage and reliability. In Richmond we deserve to finally have our neighborhoods made a top priority.
Better City Services
The last 4 years the policy has been to raise taxes but cut services. The city budget has grown by over $115 million dollars since 2016, what are we getting in return?
