5/ I’ve been honored by the outpouring of support for this campaign throughout the city, and I know that together, we can turn the page on a Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office that has failed to deliver justice to victims, and bring positive change to Norfolk.

4/ I am running for Commonwealth’s Attorney to create a safe, more equitable and thriving Norfolk no matter where you live
