A clear vision for Richmond's future
Jim Newby believes that strong communities are built on smart, principled leadership. Below are the key issues Jim is committed to fighting for on the Richmond City Commission.
Richmond's roads, bridges, parks, and utilities are the backbone of our city. Jim will continue to prioritize smart infrastructure investments that improve the daily lives of residents in every neighborhood — not just the newest developments.
A thriving local economy means good jobs, vibrant local businesses, and a tax base that supports excellent city services. Jim will work to attract responsible businesses while supporting the small businesses that give Richmond its character.
Every Richmond resident deserves to feel safe in their home and community. Jim is a strong supporter of our police, fire, and emergency services, and believes in equipping our first responders with the tools and training they need.
Taxpayers deserve a government that spends wisely and operates transparently. Jim is committed to keeping Richmond's finances sound while delivering the services residents count on, with no hidden agendas or wasteful spending.
Richmond is a great place to live, and Jim wants to keep it that way. From quality parks and recreation to senior services and youth programs, Jim believes the city government should enhance the quality of life for every resident.
Reliable, affordable utilities are essential for Richmond families and businesses. Jim supports responsible planning that ensures our city's long-term sustainability while keeping utility costs manageable for residents.
