The 2nd district came out and voted on Tuesday for a change with our schools!. Kim successfully beat the incumbent who never had to run a race before and Kim won huge. She spent 6 months knocking on doors and talking to everyone in the 2nd district and for that she will now represent us on the school board.
As a parent with 2 children in RPS’s, I couldn’t be more excited. She didn’t only deserve to win she was by far the best candidate for the future of our schools.
Congrats Kim. I am so hopeful for our schools now, more so than ever before. We are in good hands!
Congratulations to Kim and Charles. We’re so excited about the potential to have such great things happen in our city. I enjoyed meeting both of them as they walked around the neighborhood.
WOW! Whatta night!
Congratulations to Kim Gray and Charles Samuels! I have great confidence that you both will not only represent the Second District well, but that you each appreciate the importance of making wise decisions for the rest of the city as well.
Best wishes to School Board Member-Elect Gray and Councilman-Elect Samuels. Only district in Richmond where both representatives are under age 35!!!!
