I have practiced psychiatry since 1993 and have enjoyed every opportunity to help my patients find their purpose and heal from their afflictions.
I have held many leadership positions and founded a non-profit in 2020 to address unmet community needs.- As a former Earth Science teacher and physician, I am very concerned about protecting the environment and I understand the intricacies of the environment and our health.
I believe all citizens should contribute to preserving the planet and curbside recycling is just one way the city of Chesapeake can help citizens to be active in this endeavor
I intend to work as a city council member to have curbside recycling reinstated. - Mental health is a strong determinant of overall health i and a healthy community is a productive community. Chesapeake currently does not have a single acute care bed for our citizens who need emergency admission for mental health crises, post-overdose treatment or medical detoxification for citizens who have chemical addictions. I will be working to ensure that these beds are available, in Chesapeake, to help this vulnerable population.
- As the property assessment increase at an appreciable rate, citizens are shouldering the financial burden by ever increasing property taxes. It is a significant burden to the citizens who are facing increasing monetary demands each day due to inflation. I will be working to reduce the property tax rate to lessen the hardships faced by the people of Chesapeake.
I am passionate about strong educational programs and academic excellence.
I am passionate about having high paying jobs and affordable housing for people who want to make Chesapeake home.
I will support, encourage and work diligently to ensure that our first responders, public safety personnel and educators are paid for the important jobs they do.
I will work to ensure that they have benefits and job security.
She sacrificed her life for her children and others.
She showed unconditional love and loyalty and was always there encouraging and supporting.
I have integrity and commit to a cause and see it through.
I have clear memories of this at the age of three or 4.
I started working at McDonalds on my 16th birthday.
I could walk across the street to McDonald's from Booker T. Washington High School at the end of the school day.
I learned so much about customer service, teamwork, responsibility. budgeting money and hard work.
Melinda Gates
Melinda Gates is an amazing servant of the people who goes mostly unrecognized.
She has made tremendous contributions to humanity all of the world and she has been selfless and passionate about helping those less fortunate than she.
Estelle and Jussie Smollett
As a child, this was very painful.
I see the blessings in all of that now and it has led me to where I am today.
How taxpayer money is spent should be fully disclosed and this information should be available to all citizens who pay taxes.
