Public safety, public education, and economic development are without a doubt the core of local government. As a Newport News native and product of the Newport News public school system (‘09), I believe I am uniquely equipped to support and invest in these crucial areas of our city in a new way. City rebranding and empowering the next generation of leaders are two critical priorities for our city if we want to ensure continued improvements within public safety, public education, and economic development.
Currently, the average age of our City Council is 65, retirement age. To ensure Newport News is able to compete economically with other cities across the Commonwealth and the country, we’re going to need a healthy balance of perspectives.
