Should our Commonwealth's Attorney's Office investigate alleged interference in Richmond's elections?

Consider the case of Tavares Floyd. #rva

#Publictrust is the foundation of a fair and effective #justice system. Without it, safety breaks down — and communities stop believing the law works for them.

My experiences as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan were invaluable, teaching me policing and empathy, and giving me the #PublicSafety tools and the perspective needed to keep us safe while serving all Richmonders humanely. #rva

Laughable?

Nothing funny about gun violence being up over 30% this year.

Sounds more like Trump's talking points on #veterans than an elected #Democrat focused on public safety. @votevets.org

Our experience with the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office is that it's not taking action on #publicsafety issues that matter to Richmonders.

#Richmond deserves more.

Richmond deserves #progress.

Coverage of the "progressive prosecutor" movement has often focused on its setbacks.

...Meanwhile, Larry Krasner just crushed his opponent in Philly. And, writes @taniel.bsky.social, reformers have lately racked up other big wins, incl. in MN, TX, MI, VT, FL, VA, CO.

Local advocates cheered Krasner’s primary victory on Tuesday, which all but assures him a third term, as an affirmation of criminal justice reform by Philly voters.

Public service is more than just your job description. It’s going above and beyond to support your community.

Violent crime in #Richmond is rising.

Common sense #gunsafety like VA's Red Flag Law could save lives-but the Commonwealth Attorney's Office is doing "honestly nothing" to use it.

People are hurting. As Commonwealth Attorney, I won’t sit on the sidelines.

Join us for the Commonwealth’s Attorney debate on May 17, 2-4 PM at MLK Middle School. What issues are hoping to be discussed? Comment below!

Got to talk with the NVCL this week about the issues that really matter to the East End.

The data shows that #Richmond needs a CA dedicated to relieving our communities from #gunviolence, and that is exactly what I will do if elected.

Commonwealth’s Attorneys could find themselves on the front lines, defending Virginians against a Republican governor.

I will not prosecute any attempts to criminalize our LGBTQ community because, unlike Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears, I stand 'morally opposed' to prejudice.
