I am celebrating the win for the constitutional amendment in Virginia today, and tomorrow we as Democrats need to have a very real conversation as to why the results were so close.

Richmond has "won" @EFF's national City of Darkness Award, which recognizes "the worst in govt. transparency" and the best at "thwarting the public's right to know." EFF cited "shenanigans" with the new FOIA library and the ongoing Connie Clay litigation. #richmond" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">eff.org/deeplinks/2026…

Email correspondence we obtained shows Richmond Public Schools lacks documentation of mandatory criminal background checks for "a lot of" employees. RPS says they're following all relevant laws, and blame a dated system that still relies on mailed docs. #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">richmond.com/news/local/edu…

@TwoForFooz @KenyaRVA The pb office is phenomenal and their core function is to include under represented groups in the entire budgeting process. I think it's money well spent to have folks on the ground talking to everyday residents in their neighborhood about the budget

Just to highlight one example of unnecessary spend in RVA, I give you the “performative” People’s Budget. Where we spend almost $300k to put another layer of bureaucracy around…wait for it…spending money. Who knows if this is the entirety, or just salary. @KenyaRVA Why?

Interesting. What *I* was told is that Charlie Schmidt is an awesome candidate, a true progressive with a lifetime of service to Virginia’s most vulnerable residents, and voters were thrilled to support someone they know has the courage to live his values in the General Assembly
Blue Virginia@bluevirginia

Apparently most Black churches in Richmond/Chesterfield were closed Sunday morning because of snow and cold, and that hurt turnout for Michelle Mosby in the HD77 Democratic "firehouse primary." Meanwhile, Charlie Schmidt got enough of his voters out. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/follow…

@BreRVA My hope is that they'll keep a sharper eye on the commissioners they appoint

@qqrobbins The city council doesn’t have a say in who is the ceo of rrha. Perhaps if they did it’d be different, maybe.

The current RRHA CEO was a GW Bush Appointee to HUD, why did we hire from an administration that pushed the privatization of public housing ?
Samuel B. Parker@SamuelParkerRTD

The stage is set for another clash over Gilpin Court's future. RRHA CEO Nesmith has submitted a 2nd proposal to transfer redevelopment to a private subsidiary. @KenyaRVA, meanwhile, has submitted an ord. asserting City Council's authority over the project richmond.com/news/local/gov…

A reminder for everyone talking about Virginia’s drop in the “best state for business” rankings under the Youngkin-Sears administration: Virginia has also dropped to 26th under Youngkin-Sears in the far-more-important “best state for workers” rankings! cnbc.com/2025/07/10/vir…

@CraigRuper55165 @KenyaRVA In my opinion, she was the only elected official in the city that was principled enough to hold him accountable consistently. She pushed back on his casino votes and corporate handouts, and fixed his mismanagement of school construction.

Thanks to @KenyaRVA for keeping our former mayor out of public office forever

Whatever you think of Stoney, it’s tough to argue with this point he made last year about the difficulty level of being Richmond’s mayor vs. being a General Assembly member richmonder.org/the-exit-inter…
