I grew up under a series of military dictatorships in Nigeria and I have always loved the Democratic system of governance in the US. That is why I am running to help stop GOP candidates who support the attacks on Virginia Economy, Education, Healthcare, Affordable living, healthy environment, workers, and diversity, equity, and inclusion
  • The economy, education, healthcare, affordability, and equality of Virginians are non-partisan issues to be supported by all voters but the divisive GOP keeps trying to wage war against fellow Americans
  • Jason Ballard supports the cuts to Medicare by the Trump administration but I will defend the expansion of affordable care to all Virginians
  • Virginia Farmers are suffering the imopacts of the Trump Tariff wars, I will support the legalization of legal sales of already legalized msrijuana in Virginia to help reduce the opioid fatal overdose crisis, create wealth for farmers, raise hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues, and end law enforcement discrimination against people of color who do not use marijuana more than white people.
Criminal Justice
Nelson Mandela is my inspiration for public service. He showed no bitterness to those who hated him and he served only one term as president
Service leaders are no monarchs but employees of the voters
To defend the rights of the residents even if a dictatorial party leader demands personal loyalty and support for taking away rights from the people.
I would like to see Virginia more prosperous, more united, better educated, and more loving
There was a genocidal war when I was a child in Biafra
Straight out of high school, I worked on a construction site for a hydro electric dam in Nigeria for 3 months before starting a job as an elementary school teacher.
Images of Deviance and Social Control: A Sociological History by Stephen Pfohl is my go-to text. I like it because it shows how each perspective was deloped, who are the key theorists, what are the major policy implications, and what are the weaknesses of each.
Dick Tracey, the average Joe Blogg who took on the enemies of the people as a Private Eye after the father of his girlfriend was kidnapped.
Health disparities affect poor people and people ofcolor adversely, calling for the expandion of affordable care to all
The separate branches need the checks and balances to make sure that there is no overreach by any co-equal arm of government
Substance use disorder still kills far too many people in the state
Yes but such experience can be gained outside elected offices as a public education Professor for decades.
Yes, bipartisanship is important especially when considering non-partisan Bills that should be passed unanimously`
Delegate Don Scott, the first African American Speaker of the House of Delegates works across the ailes to pass non-partisan Bills
I am interested in searching for and mentoring younger generations of Democrats to run for more offices
I was surprised to see that some voters in Virginia told public opinion pollsters that public education, healthcare, affordability, the economy, and inclusiveness are not important issues.
Yes, emergencies occur from time to time and the executive should be able to declare emergency powers to address them
Lawful sales of already legalized cannabis in Virginia
Fightin' Ninth Democratic Party VA 9th Congressional District

Radford City Democratic Party Committee
Alex Bastani, former candidate for Primary elections
Gun Sense Legislation for Gun Safety

LGBT+
Would be good for voters to weigh in on important legislations
A mother told me that there is an epidemic of bulyying in public schools and her child was afraid tio go to school. Elected officials should not make this more difficult by joining the bullies tomstigmatioze children because of the bathroopm choices. It is easier to provide additional gender-neutral topilets as is don in airports and at town festivals and concertt events.
I signed the petition to support the legalization of cannabis ballot initiative in Colorado and California but someone in Colorado wrote to call for people like me to be fired. When I taught a class on cannabis legalization, the young Republicans on campus challenged me to a televised debate on YouTube opposing the legalization. Iamproud to see that penal abolitionism for cannabis is winning legislative support.
