Should our Commonwealth's Attorney's Office investigate alleged interference in Richmond's elections? Consider the case of Tavares Floyd. #rva
Had the honor of talking to RVA Has Issues on @myvpm.bsky.social this week. Find the full conversation here: rvasgotissues.vpm.org/2025/06/04/w...
#Publictrust is the foundation of a fair and effective #justice system. Without it, safety breaks down — and communities stop believing the law works for them.
My experiences as a Marine in Iraq and Afghanistan were invaluable, teaching me policing and empathy, and giving me the #PublicSafety tools and the perspective needed to keep us safe while serving all Richmonders humanely. #rva
ICYMI I discussed public corruption and other safety issues last week with Richmond Morning News. Listen to the full convo here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Laughable? Nothing funny about gun violence being up over 30% this year. Sounds more like Trump's talking points on #veterans than an elected #Democrat focused on public safety. @votevets.org www.richmonder.org/mceachin-bar...
Our experience with the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office is that it's not taking action on #publicsafety issues that matter to Richmonders. #Richmond deserves more. Richmond deserves #progress.
Let’s go @tomrvaca.bsky.social
Alex Burness@burness.bsky.social · last yr.Coverage of the "progressive prosecutor" movement has often focused on its setbacks. ...Meanwhile, Larry Krasner just crushed his opponent in Philly. And, writes @taniel.bsky.social, reformers have lately racked up other big wins, incl. in MN, TX, MI, VT, FL, VA, CO. boltsmag.org/larry-krasne...
Public service is more than just your job description. It’s going above and beyond to support your community.
My Saturday: Planting lettuce 🥬 Feeding 🐥 Watching the Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney ⚖️ debate, live 🐦 by our friends @rvadirt.bsky.social (cough, go @tomrvaca.bsky.social ! )
Violent crime in #Richmond is rising. Common sense #gunsafety like VA's Red Flag Law could save lives-but the Commonwealth Attorney's Office is doing "honestly nothing" to use it. People are hurting. As Commonwealth Attorney, I won’t sit on the sidelines.
'We need justice': How often are Richmond prosecutors convicting killers?

Got to talk with the NVCL this week about the issues that really matter to the East End. The data shows that #Richmond needs a CA dedicated to relieving our communities from #gunviolence, and that is exactly what I will do if elected.
Commonwealth’s Attorneys could find themselves on the front lines, defending Virginians against a Republican governor. I will not prosecute any attempts to criminalize our LGBTQ community because, unlike Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears, I stand 'morally opposed' to prejudice. www.wric.com/news/politic...

Hell yeah ‘My general position is that Richmonders, Virginians, Americans, should not want to live in—and our Constitution would not allow for us to live in—a city, country, or Commonwealth where the public is mass-surveilled in real time by agents of the state.’
Dave Infante@dinfontay.com · last yr.Spoke about this exact scenario just a couple weeks ago with @tomrvaca.bsky.social, who told The Lookout in no uncertain terms how he'd use the power of the Richmond Commonwealth's Attorney's office to hinder ICE's ability to pull this shit. Interview here: www.chlookout.com/p/tom-barbou...

One of the three men was masked and the detainees were ushered into unmarked van. Video in the article. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...
This is not the time for Do-Nothing Democrats at the local level. The CA didn’t think to avoid this by waiving appearances for dismissed charges and the Sheriff let them in. A total failure — we can’t allow this to happen in Richmond.

Mass surveillance won’t keep Richmond safe — but trust will. I want to build safety through community, not cameras.
