Hello,

I’m Meredith Richards, and thanks for logging on to my personal website. 

I care about Virginia and have served our community with dedication for over ten years. I was honored to be elected to Charlottesville's City Council for eight years, with two terms as Vice Mayor. I’ve served Central Virginia and the State of Virginia on appointed boards, commissions and task forces where people of experience and goodwill work together to map out a strong future for Virginia. 

As a Democrat, I will always fight for working families and try to find new solutions to today’s challenges. The issues of importance to me reflect core values of justice, fairness, economic equity and inclusion for all.

These are the things I stand for:

  • Prosperity that reaches all of our citizens and leaves no hard-working family struggling to make ends meet.
  • Smarter Growth that preserves rural areas and favors walk-able, livable, mixed-use neighborhoods and commercial areas with a choice of transportation modes.
  • Public Schools that serve the educational needs of all students to reduce the disparities associated with race and family income.
  • Better rail connections for Charlottesville, and a much larger role for rail in Virginia’s transportation network.
  • Unwavering and uncompromising support for Privacy and Freedom of Choice in the decisions that affect our lives and families.
  • A wider choice of housing options for people on low and average incomes.
  • A healthy community that integrates the needs of City, County and University.

Please read about these issues that affect all Virginians. 

Thank you,

-Meredith
