Harrisonburg friends: I would like to encourage everyone to vote for my friends Monica Robinson and Dany Fleming in the current primary. They are both excellent leaders who have shown me time and time again that they show up for Harrisonburg and share my values.

When I announced The Golden Pony would be closing, Monica immediately reached out with an encouraging message. I have always appreciated her understanding and sensitivity to the unique issues we faced as a business. She was also a resource and supporter for the skateboarding community when the City needed to go back to the drawing board on the new skatepark. If you grew up around here, you may also remember she was once the best skateboarder in town. She has the skillset necessary to get the job done and she has every bit of my support! Please consider supporting my friend and community champion Monica Robinson!

I don’t often tell people how they should vote. In fact, every person should do their own research and vote according to their conscience. But this election is different. I’m asking my son, my family, my friends, and everyone who is listening to consider voting for Councilwoman Monica Robinson. Throughout my work advocating for immigrant families and other vulnerable members of our community, I have watched who shows up when the conversations become uncomfortable. When our community raised concerns about surveillance cameras, I was encouraged to see Councilwoman Robinson stand for transparency, accountability, and civil liberties. I have also had the privilege of speaking alongside her on a community discussion panel, where I witnessed firsthand her passion for Harrisonburg and her willingness to stand with people who are too often ignored or left without a voice. Councilwoman Monica Robinson has demonstrated a commitment to serve, to represent her entire community, to make difficult decisions, and to speak up when it would be easier to remain silent. As someone who has spent years advocating for policies that strengthen communities, I am proud to endorse Councilwoman Robinson for Harrisonburg City Council.
