Hello, in the event you were not able to attend or wish to relisten to parts of last night’s candidates night for our District 6 councilmembers. Here is a video recording of the Zoom meeting.
We started with a brief update on Adams School by Don Gosney (notes here).
This was followed by an invitation to this Saturday’s “Adapting Richmond’s Shoreline and Industrial Legacy,” a conversation with scientists and local officials about building a resilient future. Download postcard shown on right.
The meeting also included presentations for and against a measure on the ballot, the Richmond Electoral Reform Act. which would add a primary election for mayor and city council seats. Don Gosney spoke in favor of the Richmond Electoral Reform Act and to issues with the alternative ranked-choice voting measure also on the ballet. Jamin Pursell showed how low primary turnout in many parts of the city favors voters from just a few parts of Richmond, as well as well-funded candidates. He included a slide on how support for the measure is being funded.
The responses from candidates Councilmember Claudia Jimenez and Shawn Dunning to several questions begin 20 minutes into the video. The meeting concluded at 8:30.
