Richmond before Party

Kelsey Linnehan

My name is Kelsey Linnehan and I am a Southside Richmonder.

As the Republican nominee for Delegate in Virginia's bluest district, I am asking voters in the 79th to put Richmond before party, and to trust that as your representative, I will bring positive change to our city through targeted legislation in the General Assembly and by advocating directly to City Hall on your behalf.

With your vote, we can make Richmond into the city we want it to be.


This is my platform for an even better Richmond. I invite you to contact me with your thoughts and ideas so that we can unify around the common vision that I will bring to the General Assembly in 2026.

My Platform for an even better Richmond

  1. Hold Mayor Avula to his promise to be a "transparent and ethical leader" and close the loopholes the City has used to evade legitimate FOIA requests.

  2. Bipartisan amendments to the Virginia Clean Economy Act to boost our energy supply and expand Dominion Energy's Strategic Underground Program to bury Richmond's power lines.

  3. Drastically reduce the flow of drugs and weapons into our prison, and direct the State Board of Local and Regional Jails to address the Richmond Sheriff Office's lack of transparency.

  4. Prioritize our local environment by protecting the James River from raw sewage spills and related contamination, ensuring safe waters for our community, pets, and wildlife.

  5. Repeal the car tax, repeal the meals tax, repeal the plastic bag tax, and repeal speed cameras.
