I had a chance to take office administrative staff and young government leaders to lunch today at the people’s house. We ran into one of VAs strongest leaders and an extraordinary advocate for Richmond, @SenBagby. Great exposure for these up and coming leaders! #RVA #service

Refreshing to see such a thoughtful approach to legislation by the Richmond City Council. As the world (and circumstances) changes, so should the way we administer regulations. Kudos to thoughtful leadership! richmonder.org/januarys-ice-…

In Richmond, Virginia, history is being told with newfound clarity. Since 2019, a new Civil War museum confronts a complex past, Confederate statues have come down, and the city is investing in sites that tell of its role in the slave trade. NYT article: nyti.ms/48zjm8p

The auditor plays a vital role in the Mayor’s “find it, fix it philosophy.” The only way to improve service delivery and solve long-standing issues, is to do so together. Proud to see the City auditor receive recognition for the vital role they play. richmonder.org/as-city-enact…
