Samuels also the best man for the job because he answers his frickin’ email

One of the three City Council candidates for the 2nd district have submitted their responses to the 2nd in a series of weekly questions put to them by RVA News (last week). The question: What are two qualities that people who know you well might say make you suited for the office you seek?”

Sadly, only one candidate from the 2nd answered the question:

Charles Samuels, city council

I could go on and on about why I think I’m the man for the job, however, while I was making the decision to run for this position, I asked people who know me if they thought I’d do a good job. They were very supportive and many of them focused on the following reasons why I would be a responsible council person:

1. I am willing to take the time to listen to what people have to say and educate myself on the issues before making a decision; and

2. I took the time to gain valuable experience essential to a good council person by being active for my community in many roles where I displayed an even-temper and conducted myself professionally and respectfully.

    Tyron Bey, city council

    My apologies for the last minute of this.

    People who know me best, and are excited about this campaign, point out many qualities that I have which would make me a great councilman.

    1. Passion for community: As a Boys & Girls Clubs Youth of the Year, a CACIL member for 13 years, Youth Matters Board Member, Urban Land Institute Young Leader, Urban League Young Professional, Citizen Transportation Advisory Committee Member, NAACP Affordable Housing Committee Member, Polaris of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc. (Eta Chapter), 6th Mt. Zion Member, and countless other organizations, I have had the opportunity to work with many different facets of our community. All of these organizations work toward creating stronger communities which everyone can live in. I am proud to associate with all of these organizations and bring what they have taught me to the council. The diversity of these organizations is what help me want to make Richmond a city where everyone has a place. Everyone is loved. Everyone can contribute.

    2. Audacity: The mere fact that I am running, knowing that I would be the underdog, shows that I am bold enough to try new things to push this city in a direction which will turn it into a top tier city. I haven’t been bought out by any special interest, nor do I have the political who’s who in my back pocket. I have a tenacious drive to make the audacious vision that my community has come to fruition, and it won’t be compromised.

    I am impressed that Kim Gray, who is challenging Lisa Dawson for the Second District seat on School Board, actually answers phone calls and returns e-mails.

    I have tried calling Dawson on several occasions and have sent her e-mails with concerns. I have never heard back from her. Perhaps if I were one of the “more important” people in this town, she would call me back.

    Unfortunately, my children do not attend Fox, or Hill, or IB or Governor’s School.

    Dawson has NO TIME for the little people, she is too busy sucking up to Bill Pantele and acting like a bigshot to care about the regular people in the Second District.

    Kim Gray, on the other hand, has been both a Warner and Kaine appointee and understands the importance of constituent services. I cannot think of a single thing Dawson has accomplished during her tenure except make excuses for RPS administrators.

    I hope Kim Gray wins!

    I think that RVAnews should ask School Board candidates to submit answers in writing.

    I bet it would be most interesting to see how functionally illiterate some of them are.

    Interesting and sad.
