I’m running for City Council because there is no better place to call home than right here in Virginia Beach. From exquisite beaches and outdoor spaces, to locally-owned businesses, world-class schools and universities, and military families we’re proud to call neighbors - there are so many reasons to be proud. And that’s why I want to serve this community on the City Council. I’m grateful to have been able to raise my three children here in Virginia Beach. And as we’ve grown, we’ve been faced with new challenges and extraordinary opportunities. Together, I’m ready to champion the ideas and ideals that will move Virginia Beach forward.
