Last month, I voted to support transforming an underutilized motel into affordable housing right here in Norfolk. This is about action — increasing housing supply, revitalizing spaces, and creating real opportunities for our residents. Read more about why this matters.

As an ODU alumnus and your council member for Superward 7, I am deeply saddened by the heartbreaking events that occurred today at Old Dominion University. As a Monarch myself, I know how close-knit this community is. We mourn the loss of life, and I stand in solidarity with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted at ODU.

This Thanksgiving marks my first as your Superward 7 City Councilman, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me. In a year filled with uncertainty, our strength has shone through in the way we support one another — as families, friends, and neighbors. As we look ahead, I remain committed to building a stronger, more connected Norfolk together. Read the full message on the blog.

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.

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

As your Councilman and someone who works daily within the juvenile justice system, advocating for our youth, I understand the importance of striking a balance between accountability and compassion. Tonight, the Norfolk City Council voted to adopt a new ordinance adding Section 29-11 to the City Code, specifically targeting acts associated with shoplifting.
