Experience: Charles City County School Board member for eight years, vice-president at Bank of America and REDC.

Reason for running: “Much like with the school board, people kept asking me why not do it? So here I am again and I have a servant’s heart and that’s what I want to do.”

Why should people vote for you: “I’ve learned a lot about this county in the last 13 years when I been here. There are so many things that are good that’s happening but there are still as equally as many challenges this county is facing right now. We had someone sitting a seat for 28 years but not representing us. Silence is not golden if you elected to do a job and I promise I will not be silent and be constructive to the services and leadership to this community.”
