Position Papers
Why am I running for City Council?
For 35 years, I have heard Richmond described as a "diamond in the rough," but I've never related to that analogy. It infers that all Richmond needs to reach its exceptional potential is a cut and a shine.
What are the major issues/challenges facing Richmond?
Based on a comprehensive resident survey, Richmond residents' priorities are the fundamentals of municipal services and quality of life issues.
A Cool Place to Live
Making Richmond a "Cool Place to Live" will change the image of our city and attract economic development.
