Former lead city councilor Michelle Mosby said this election is about Richmond’s next chapter, and ensuring everyone’s voice is heard.

Mosby, who sat on the Audit Committee during her time on city council, said she would make sure that department leadership are experienced in local government, and that departments are appropriately staffed.

“From there, it’s leadership briefings, seeing where we are currently,” Mosby said. “What are out processes? What are our goals? What are we seeing, are they actual outcomes? And where do we need to make some real shifts, some heavy lifting shifts, to get about the outcomes that I believe we need to see in our city of Richmond?”
