Tom Barbour Jr. is a Democrat running for the commonwealth attorney position in Richmond. Barbour previously served in the military in Iraq and as an assistant commonwealth’s attorney under Mike Herring. Colette McEachin is the incumbent and she is seeking reelection after first winning in a 2019 special election when Herring resigned.
In this episode, Barbour talks about how he would work differently from McEachin if elected, how he would walk the line of enforcing the law and holding the police accountable when needed — and more about himself. Listen at the link on the top of this page.
