This Thanksgiving marks my first as your Superward 7 City Councilman, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me.

Under this new schedule, VENA benefits will be issued weekly rather than monthly. For example, if a household typically receives $200 per month, they will now receive $50 per week.

Cee Cee Tucker was more than a mentor, she was family. From enrolling me in ODU’s Lambert’s Point Summer Program at age 11, to securing theater camp scholarships for 10 years, to nominating me for the 2013 VCIC Humanitarian Award, she poured into my life. Her guidance shaped my path to public service. On Dec. 6, Alpha Phi Alpha will honor her posthumously as Humanitarian of the Year at our Black and Gold Ball.

The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Warning for Norfolk and the surrounding areas, in effect from 10:00 AM Monday through 8:00 PM Wednesday. This alert activates the City of Norfolk’s Extreme Heat Plan, and I want to ensure every resident knows the resources available to stay safe.

The Honorable Jerrauld Corey Jones—a trailblazer, mentor, and friend—passed away, leaving behind a powerful legacy that will live on in the lives he touched and the systems he reshaped for the better. Born on July 22, 1954, in Norfolk, Judge Jones was the son of pioneering civil rights attorney Hilary H. Jones, Sr. It’s no surprise he carried that legacy forward, forging his groundbreaking path across all three branches of Virginia’s state government.

Today, we pause as a nation to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
