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 www.richmonder.org/mceachin-bar...

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.

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.

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. www.wric.com/news/politic...

Hell yeah ‘My general position is that Richmonders, Virginians, Americans, should not want to live in—and our Constitution would not allow for us to live in—a city, country, or Commonwealth where the public is mass-surveilled in real time by agents of the state.’

Spoke about this exact scenario just a couple weeks ago with @tomrvaca.bsky.social, who told The Lookout in no uncertain terms how he'd use the power of the Richmond Commonwealth's Attorney's office to hinder ICE's ability to pull this shit. Interview here: www.chlookout.com/p/tom-barbou...

This is not the time for Do-Nothing Democrats at the local level. The CA didn’t think to avoid this by waiving appearances for dismissed charges and the Sheriff let them in. A total failure — we can’t allow this to happen in Richmond.

Mass surveillance won’t keep Richmond safe — but trust will. I want to build safety through community, not cameras.

When I talk to Richmond voters, they’re worried about their rights, financial security, safety, and their kids' futures. It's time for a Commonwealth's Attorney who will take bold action in prosecuting criminal cases, tackling public corruption, and ensuring justice for all.

In Richmond, we have tragically seen pedestrian deaths and traffic violence increase over the last few years. Our city needs a Commonwealth’s Attorney who will fiercely prosecute these cases. I am running to take action for you.

Richmond's Commonwealth's Attorney serves as the City’s Chief Public Safety Officer, deciding which crimes are investigated, who is prosecuted, and why. These decisions directly impact safety and public trust—and both need improvement in Richmond. That’s why I’m running for CA.

When the General Registrar for the city of Richmond mismanages city funds according to our Inspector General and the Commonwealth's Attorney does nothing, that is a missed opportunity. I hear it everywhere I go, people are demanding accountability and transparency.

This fall, several reported donors to City Council candidate Tavares Floyd’s campaign claimed they never contributed and didn’t know who he was. Despite this, the Commonwealth’s Attorney chose not to investigate. For trust in our systems, we need campaign finance accountability.

Neither Balmer nor Floyd, to this point, has been charged by Commonwealth's Attorney Colette McEachin. Asked for comment, McEachin said she could not confirm the existence of probes into either.

Too many RVA parents worry whether their children can walk to school or play outside in their neighborhood safely. As Richmond’s next Commonwealth’s Attorney, I’ll take a stand—aggressively prosecuting reckless driving and taking action to keep kids safe.
