Candidate Introduction Series: Jennifer Lee, 80th District
By JR Hoeft | Monday, May 18th, 2009 | PoliticsThe 80th District for the House of Delegates surrounds the confluence of the various branches of the Elizabeth River and is home to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital, the U.S. Coast Guard’s 5th District, the Portsmouth Marine Terminals, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and Old Towne Portsmouth.
It also has about 52% of its properties that fail to qualify for tax revenues because they are in such bad shape.
Transportation, economic development, and the ports are HUGE issues for this district and, quite frankly, the entire commonwealth.
Jennifer Lee is the Republican nominee vying for the vacated seat left by, now judge, Ken Melvin. She is a community and grassroots leader and joined us for a few minutes to discuss the issues facing the 80th and its economic vitality.
