In terms of our loose coverage area, North Richmond News’ readers cross four political jurisdictions — Henrico’s Brookland and Fairfield districts, and Richmond’s 2nd and 3rd districts. Richmond.com has been profiling Richmond’s political districts as a lead-up to this fall’s School Board and City Council elections. This week: meet the 2nd District, which includes portions of North Richmond’s Rosedale and Sherwood Park communities:
On the School Board, four-year incumbent Lisa Dawson, a 50-year-old homemaker, is facing competition from newcomer Kimberly Gray, who could not be reached for comment…
…As for City Council representation, the district will have a new person come November. Seven-year incumbent and current council president Bill Pantele will give up his seat as he campaigns for mayor.
Three men are vying for the job — Patrick Kjellberg, Tyron Bey and Charles Samuels — and all three agreed that the issues facing the second district were the same as those facing the city as a whole.
