As a member of City Council’s Public Safety Committee, I believe it’s important to see firsthand the training and challenges our firefighters face.

Thank you to Chief Rogers for the opportunity to tour the Newport News Fire Training Center. Understanding what our firefighters experience helps me better advocate for the resources they need to keep our community safe.

Back in 2024, I was advocating for stronger partnerships between childcare providers and businesses to lower costs for working families.

It’s encouraging to see this issue gaining attention during the City of Newport News’ trip to the 2026 ICMA Annual Conference and through the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Spotlight.

Newport News partnered with United Way and FirstSpark to address childcare challenges with “Child Care: Everybody’s Business” breakfast.

Affordable childcare is a family and workforce issue. Let me continue fighting for affordable childcare solutions for working families. Vote to Re-elect by Nov 3rd.

Today’s weather didn’t stop people from walking to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s! 💜

This cause is close to my heart, as I’ve lost several loved ones to this devastating disease. I know firsthand the pain it brings to families and the importance of finding a cure. The funds raised today will support much-needed research to help find a cure.

Thank you to everyone who braved the weather to support this important cause!

I’m honored to have the endorsements of the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 794!

The trust of the police officers and firefighters who serve our community means a great deal to me. I’ll continue working to earn that trust by ensuring they have the staffing, equipment, and support they need to protect our residents.

Strong partnerships with our first responders help build a safer Newport News. Let’s keep moving forward, together!

I’m proud to have the endorsement of my fellow Newport News Central District Councilman Rob Coleman!

Over the past two years, we’ve worked together to ensure the voices of our constituents are heard and their concerns are represented at City Hall.

Together, we’ve helped advance priorities that matter to our neighborhoods and the families we serve.

I appreciate Councilman Coleman’s support and look forward to continuing our work on behalf of the Central District and all of Newport News.

Progress worth preserving. Work worth continuing.

Building a more affordable Newport News takes strong partnerships. Together, we can turn our housing strategy into action—creating more affordable housing options, redeveloping blighted properties, and strengthening our neighborhoods.

We’ve laid the groundwork. Now it’s time to build.

Let’s keep moving Newport News forward, together!

Vote early at City Center, Tuesday or Thursday from 8am-5pm.

Thank you to Newport News Treasurer Sanu Dieng-Cooper and Jondahlyn Holston of Transitions Family Violence Services for an insightful fireside chat this evening in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

One important takeaway was the intersection between domestic violence and homelessness. For many individuals and families, escaping an abusive situation can mean leaving behind their home, financial stability, and support system. No one should have to choose between their safety and having a place to call home.

Conversations like these are important because awareness is the first step toward prevention. We must continue educating our community, recognizing the warning signs of abuse, supporting survivors, and ensuring that safe housing and resources are available to those seeking a way out.

Thank you to Transitions Family Violence Services for the critical work you do to protect and empower families in our community.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, especially in their own home.
