The North Central 2nd District stretches across the center of Richmond east to west, from Scott's Addition to Jackson Ward. Includes a bit of Northside at Hermatage to Laburnum, Carver, Monroe Ward, and the Fan north of Floyd. At 68%, the district is the 2nd whitest of Richmond's 3 majority-white districts. Only 61% of the population of voting age are registered to vote (tied for worst in the city with the 9th District).

Now in his second term as 2nd District Councilman, Charles Samuels was elected city council president last week by his fellow council members. Samuels talks about what made him run and what his new duties entail.
