Greater Richmond Partnership Mayoral Debate 

In his opening statement, Williams said that any city could be big or great, but his goal was to make Richmond the most livable city in America. 

He said it was time to focus on the neighborhoods and that he and Jones were the only two people who'd actually been in the trenches working in the city with development companies for more than 20 years. 

"Ask yourself if you want a mayor who only understands the politics or who also understands how to get things done," he said. 

In responding to the issues, he told the crowd that as a graduate of Richmond Public Schools, UVa, Harvard and his work as a registered Architect, he understands both the common man and the boardroom.

"We need to stop talking about the schools and make the changes in the neighborhoods. That's where the issues are," he said.  

"It's great to talk about vision, but we also need someone who knows how to get schools built." 

Williams wants to put some social services in middle schools because that's the place where mothers go to strengthen their families, he said. 

Williams also wants to move the jail, perhaps putting it near Philip Morris so the company can give inmates training and some psychological services could be offered. "Fundamentally, we need to focus on our neighborhoods.

We've had lawyers and preachers. We need a new generation  of professional leaders," he said of those in the mayoral position.
