Glen Sturtevant, a Richmond resident and school board member, has added his name to the list of folks seeking the Republican nomination to succeed state Sen. John Watkins in the 10th District.
The primary, to be held June 9, already features two other Republicans: Bruce Tyler and Stephen Thomas.
In his roll out, Sturtevant has spoken with the Richmond Times-Dispatch [1], released this video:
And, most importantly, just did a podcast interview with me. 🙂
In our discussion, the 32-year-old talks about his already full background that includes growing up in Spotsylvania, graduating from George Mason, marrying his college sweetheart (who became a schoolteacher and helped him navigate through law school), and adopting three kids (5,2, and 1). He has also managed in a short period of time to bring fiscal sanity to Richmond Schools.
Sturtevant hopes to bring that same fiscal discipline to Richmond, complete with zero-base budgeting, an audit of every state agency, and the publishing of each government entity’s check registry. Now that’s transparency!
He was also very clear that expanding Medicaid into Virginia is a non-starter.
