Woodland Heights Civic Association Meeting & Candidate Forum

This event has ended

Please join us at 6:30 p.m. for a 20-minute meeting with brief updates from the Civic Association, Richmond 5th District Councilwoman Stephanie Lynch, and the Richmond Police Department.

Around 7 p.m., we’ll welcome candidates who qualified to run in the June 20 Democratic Primary Election to represent the redistricted state legislature. Woodland Heights will be represented by the new Virginia Senate District 14 and the new Virginia House of Delegates District 79. Candidates who qualify to run under a non-primary process prior to the forum may also be invited.

Candidates confirmed to participate include:

Virginia Senate District 14

  • Senator Lamont Bagby
  • Katie B. A. Gooch

Virginia House of Delegates District 79

  • Rae C. Cousins
  • Richmond City Councilwoman Ann-Frances Lambert
  • Richard W. Walker

Candidates will be asked a series of questions relevant to our neighborhood about safety and traffic concerns, the combined sewer overflow (CSO) project to address contamination of the James River, casino gambling, and more. If time allows, attendees may ask questions of the candidates, as well.

Please plan to join us!
