I just finished up with attending the Economic Summit in Richmond! The business community is very optimistic about Richmond and its future... a feeling I strongly share!
During the summit, we did an exercise in groups to answer some questions...
What should we continue to do in Richmond?
Overwhelmingly, the answer was collaborate and gather to seek solutions and ideas. That's just what I have advocated and done in my campaign and will continue to do once elected. Listen to the constituents!
What is something we should begin doing?
Tell the positive side of the story as Richmond has plenty to offer! Likewise, that's what I've found as I have campaigned over the last year and a half and learned more about Richmond. From a business standpoint Richmond has an excellent labor pool, a good manufacturing base and good transporation and logistics, all things that businesses look for in locating their facilities.
What is it we should stop doing?
Overwhelmingly again the business leaders said...Stop Procrastinating and do something! It simply underlines what people have been saying... George Miller has had 35 years to make a difference and hasn't gotten it done! I'm ready to help showcase Richmond as the shining star by the shore that it should be. There are so many positives about Richmond and with my help, it will shine brightly!
