On November 5th, 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
I’m excited to announce my candidacy for the Richmond City Council seat in District 5, which includes the Richmond Annex, Marina Bay, and the southernmost South Side neighborhoods– Eastshore, Laurel Park, Stege/Cortez, and Easter Hill Village. I am honored to have the endorsement of our current District 5 Councilmember, Gayle McLaughlin whose inspiring leadership and commitment to the community motivated me to engage in local politics.
My journey into Richmond politics began in 2013 at my first City Council meeting. I was drawn to Gayle’s plan to assist homeowners, like my husband and me, who were struggling with underwater mortgages. We had invested everything in our first home, only to see its value plummet. In that meeting, I felt both despair and gratitude for living in a city with leaders bold enough to hold banks accountable. This experience ignited my passion for advocacy, and for the past decade, I have volunteered for progressive causes in Richmond. It is a profound honor to carry on Gayle’s legacy.
As a first-time candidate, I want to express my deep love for Richmond and share the incredible potential I see here. I am an experienced activist and environmental advocate stepping into the political spotlight with a focus on environmental justice and community-driven policymaking. I believe that Richmond City Council faces critical decisions in the coming years, and I’m dedicated to ensuring our community’s voices are heard and prioritized.
Though I’m new to running for office, I have long been involved in Richmond’s political landscape through my work with the Richmond Progressive Alliance and various initiatives. My activism includes the “No Coal in Richmond” campaign to prevent coal transport through our neighborhoods and advocating for a comprehensive cleanup of the AstraZeneca site which is scheduled for redevelopment in the next two years. I do not support the previous council’s decision to cap toxic waste there; I will advocate for thorough cleanup before any housing is built.
Growing up in Detroit, I witnessed disparities in opportunity firsthand, which fueled my desire to advocate for equitable policies. I earned my PhD in sociocultural anthropology from UC Berkeley, equipping me to understand and address the complexities of our community. I have experience in labor organizing negotiations, and communication, and I currently consult for nonprofits, including one dedicated to improving healthcare for veterans.
With Richmond anticipating a budget increase due to a recent settlement with Chevron, I aim to be a responsible steward of those resources. A priority for me is creating a “rainy day fund” to prepare for a future without the local oil refinery, ensuring a stable tax base, and investing in city services to address issues like potholes and traffic safety. Public safety is another key focus. While adequate police is essential, it is only part of the solution. I am eager to support the development of a crisis response program that prioritizes mental health and community care. We also need increased investment in road safety measures, including a serious plan slow speeds on Carlson Avenue and Portrero Avenue.
I am excited to bring my experience and passion to work alongside my fellow residents for a brighter future. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

I was originally going to log into the Kuwaiti credit score app at the end of August, but I was bored and had nothing to do. When I saw the jump, I was like I didn’t even get my monthly pay yet.
This is the Kuwaiti system, run by CINET.
If this was my score in the US, how would things be for me?
I am currently working on my second loan, took my first one back in December 2022, closed it September 2023 very early. Second loan was taken out in November 2024, going to pay it off gradually because I plan on taking a third one afterwards. All thanks to Pinnacle Credit Specialist. Reach Out to them by email; [email protected] or call +1 (575) 727-8224.
I reached out to them, and right away, I felt a sense of hope. Their team was not only professional, but they also genuinely cared about my case. They walked me through the entire process of tracking down the stolen funds and provided me with clear, consistent updates.
What amazed me the most was their ability to trace my Bitcoin to the scammer’s wallet and recover my funds. I honestly didn’t think it was possible, but thanks to 5ISPYHAK expertise and advanced tools, they made it happen.
If you’re ever in a similar situation, I highly recommend 5ISPYHAK. They restored my confidence in the crypto world and got me back what I thought was lost forever."

How do I Recover My Stolen Cryptocurrency Without Being Scammed Again?
I can’t stop thanking ALPHA RECOVERY EXPERTS for assisting me in recovering my lost bitcoin, which I had assumed was lost forever. I recently lost $318,000 to a cryptocurrency investment scam. The company posed as an investment firm that could provide a high percentage of profits if you deposited Bitcoin with them. At first, it appeared to be real; it worked twice. I had no idea they had set up a (robot) that would entirely shut down your account after you had opted to invest much. One day, while browsing the internet, I came across a story about how ALPHA RECOVERY EXPERTS assisted a family in recovering their lost investment from a fraud. Experiencing a similar problem. I chose to contact them. From our initial chat, it was evident that ALPHA RECOVERY EXPERTS had a genuine desire to aid fraud victims like myself. He began by reviewing my findings and then started the recovery process. It took the team 72 hours to locate and restore my stolen funds. I am incredibly appreciative for the recovery services he provided me.
