Willie Hilliard

City Council Candidate for RVA's 6th District. We need affordable housing, strong public education, and a government that works for us. Richmond can’t wait!

I’m honored to accept the endorsement of Virginia State Delegate @Rae_Cousins23 . Like me, Rae was born and raised in Richmond.

We will continue to fight against the control that the fossil fuel industry has over this country. If we want our kids/grandkids to live in a thriving society, we must divest from fossil fuels today!!

[Willie Hilliard @willieforthe6th]

I was proud to stand with my legislators and fellow environmental activists to fight for the protection of the Va Clean Economy Act. It requires Virginia's major energy producers to generate all of their electricity from renewable sources by 2045 and 2050

A sewage pipeline has burst in the #6thDistrict, and is adding to the millions of gallons of sewage that is normally dumped into the James River by Richmond City's combined sewage overflow system. This is unacceptable. (Thread: 1/3)

I think the more 6th District residents know about where the candidates stand on the issues, the more will support my campaign. https://t.co/wapnPv8v2c

We need substantive reform: legalizing missing middle housing, introducing renter protections, property tax reform, and ensuring that Richmond public housing is safe and well managed.

[Willie Hilliard @willieforthe6th]

Happy Halloween! 6th District residents - vote for Willie this year to address Richmond's housing crisis.

On a lighter note, if you want to see me in this getup you have to come out to Ironclad Bar and Grill’s Halloween Party this Saturday the 26th. It’ll last from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. - I will be there for at least the first few hours!” (3/3)

This Halloween I’ll be dressed as the scariest thing in Richmond: unaffordable housing. 🧵 (1/3)

[Willie Hilliard @willieforthe6th]

The situation that has developed on Ellen Robertson’s watch is grim: The city is in a housing crisis; rents are up in Richmond 22% over the last 2 years; we have the second highest eviction rate in the country and over 500 people are homeless right now in the metro area. (2/3)

In light of RTD’s most recent reporting, I am calling on the Inspector General to investigate Tavares Floyd’s time working for Ellen Robertsin on City Council. I am also calling on her to address claims that senior city officials asked her to terminate his employment years ago.
