Team Richmond (me, Jovanka Beckles and Eduardo Martinez) won the 4-year City Council seats.
In addition, Tom Butt won the Mayor's seat and Jael Myrick won the 2-year City Council seat.
A profound thank you to the hundreds of Team Richmond volunteers for your hard work and dedication. Together we overcame 3 million dollars plus of corporate money!
My heartfelt appreciation to the Richmond voters who made it clear that our democracy cannot be bought!
This historic election marks the culmination of a decade of hard work by so many in our grassroots movement. At a time when our nation's democracy is in peril due to the outsized influence of corporate money, grassroots democracy has prevailed in Richmond. What an awesome accomplishment we have achieved together!
So proud and honored to be part of our ongoing transformation.
With respect and appreciation,
Gayle McLaughlin
