“I believe District 5 deserves a Councilmember who will focus on what matters most:
- Keep our city finances in check to avoid drastic cuts to services;
- Clean and safe neighborhoods;
- Shared prosperity: a commitment to attracting quality jobs and support for small businesses;
- Environmental justice for every Richmond community;
- More investments in homes affordable at all income levels; and
- More help transitioning the unhoused into permanent housing.
I’ve lived in Richmond for more than 60 years. My mother and father, Irma Anderson and Rev. Booker T. Anderson, both served as Richmond mayors with focus and integrity. They taught me how public service done right builds community. I know what needs to be done to move Richmond forward. I am a leader who listens to every perspective and works on solutions, not roadblocks, to progress.”
