We are asking for your support to ensure that Cynthia Newbille is allowed to represent the 7th district on Richmond, Virginia's City Council. We are asking for your support in advocating to appoint Mrs. Newbille to fill the recently vacated 7th District City Council seat. Mrs. Newbille is currently the acting director of the East End Family Resource Center. She was not only raised in the 7th District attending Whitcomb Elementary (closed), Mosby Middle School (now Martin Luther King Middle School) and Armstrong High School (31st street) but is also a product of the East End District, and has served her community for the last 13 years. Mrs. Newbille stands everyday as a pillar of our community.

Mrs. Newbille's areas of service have been health, youth development, education, housing, family services and economic development. She holds a Master's Degree in Psychology from SUNY. Her work, community accomplishments and collaborative ways of civic engagement have impacted the East End District in a positive way. Mrs. Newbille has facilitated dynamic partnerships within the public and private sector; coordinating and interfacing with City departments and agencies, elected officials, community leaders and members, faith based organizations and universities for the enhancement of the 7th District.

The densely populated 7th District contains the most eastern parts of Richmond; it is bounded to the north, east and somewhat to the south by Henrico County. Neighborhoods in the 7th include: Fairfield, Church Hill, Fulton Bottom, Fulton Hill, Montrose Heights and the eastern portion of Shockoe Bottom.

With the election of Barack Obama, we as a people are in need of representatives whose first priority is service to the people. We know from our experience that Mrs. Newbille is committed to community, the Commonwealth and our Country. Her primary focus is health from a holistic approach which includes physical health, environmental health, economic health and social well-being. Cynthia Newbille will work collaboratively and not in isolation; tapping into our city's collective resources to build a better Richmond.

    • Cynthia Newbille has been a pillar of our community for a long time. She has nutured the Family Resource Center into a world class institution and served thousands of famillies in the East End. She would be an excellent addition to the Richmond City Council having grown up in Richmond and now dedicating her career to the betterment of the community in which she grew up.

    • Cynthia Newbille is an excellent candidate for the 7th District Council seat. I knew of her reputation as an outstanding staff person in city hall prior to Mayor Wilder's adminstration, but have known her best since she assumed directorship of the East End Family Resource Center. Her understanding of the issues facing her her constituents is comprehensive. She is a wise woman and I look forward to working with her.

    • Cynthia Newbille has spent many years learning about and ministering to the citizens of the East District through her work with the East District Initiative. I knew her when she directed Healthy Families Virginia and her knowledge of family issues and other societal problems in her district was unparalleled. That she has chosen to move to the district herself and seek the City Council seat can only mean that the citizens of her district will have better lives from now on.
