On November 5^th, 2024 we will have a chance to use the full weight of the electoral process to determine who will represent us on the Richmond City Council for the next four years.

In an effort to help level the playing field, Radio Free Richmond has extended an offer to all seven candidates for the Council to post their own words to let you, the voters, know their positions on what they believe to be the important issues.

THIS IS FREE PUBLICITY.

The candidates have also been invited to post guest editorials on the issues of importance. 

RFR will post a new candidate statement every couple of days.

RADIO FREE RICHMOND DOES NOT ENDORSE CANDIDATES—THEY OFFER A PLATFORM FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO EXPRESS IDEAS ON ISSUES OF VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY

For the last 20 years Richmond has been plagued with high crime, unemployment, homelessness, highter taxes on large business than normal defending the police which violate your constitutional rights. The plan by the city council is to destroy the fossil fuel industrial complex with this GREEN and Blue deal that will put thousands of hight paying jobs on the unemployment and welfare line. With new leadership to over come this obstacles. From the millions of dollars from the Chevron tax the city will building more homeless shelters than a job training program bring in big businesses that will cause less crime and homelessnesses. For the youth in Richmond we need a massive job training program so they will be ready for their big step into the world. This is why you need to vote for Mark Wassberg for city couucil and I will make a difference.
