- 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.

Based on a comprehensive resident survey, Richmond residents' priorities are the fundamentals of municipal services and  quality of life issues.

Making Richmond a "Cool Place to Live" will change the image of our city and attract economic development.
