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.

Thanks for engaging — no, I would not. And here is an interview with a couple of concrete examples of how I would handle that issue:

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

'We need justice': How often are Richmond prosecutors convicting killers? CBS 6 investigates just how many people are being held accountable for the most serious crimes happening in Richmond.

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.
