“The mayor will take the time that is necessary to find the right fit for the City of Richmond*,” his spokesperson said last December when asked for a timetable on which the mayor planned to fill that position.
Stoney promised a national search for the police chief position in mid-June, after he forced the resignation of former Police Chief William Smith and installed William “Jody” Blackwell as interim chief.
I was rereading his AMA from 2016 when he was a candidate and was curious what your facts and opinions are regarding his performance as the mayor of our fair city.
I am Levar Stoney, candidate for Mayor of Richmond. I’ll be answering your questions starting at 9:00 PM on October 12th. I look forward to a lively discussion about the future of RVA.

User /u/john_c_X will be guiding me through the session.
Levar Stoney is a candidate for mayor of Richmond. On Tuesday, Levar will put up a page and people can add questions beforehand if they want. All rules still apply - don't be rude, don't use personal information, no biting, no kicking, etc. The mods will be on hand and have armed themselves with high-powered ban hammers just for the occasion.
Just because you ask a question does not mean Mr. Stoney is obligated to answer it. He'll do as many as he can, and like everyone else who's done one of these, he'll probably favor the questions that concern issues he is really interested in. Your clever question about the Locker Room will likely go unanswered.
The AMA will be hosted by John Murden, who runs the Church Hill People's News, which you have likely all seen before.
Levar will come to the AMA fresh from a forum at VUU: “A Focus on Richmond’s Future: Engaging The Millennial Electorate”. 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Coburn Hall Chapel. I haven't seen it advertised anywhere, and have no information apart from this.
Right, so look for his post next Tuesday.
Edit: a couple of poor word choices.
