Taylor supports federal and state legislation such as universal background checks for all firearm purchases and allowing judges to temporarily restrict access to firearms for those who are deemed at risk of harming themselves or others, known as an extreme risk protection order.
Owen Conway, a criminal defense attorney, is running against Taylor as the Republican candidate. Conway believes in reducing the population of incarcerated people in the county’s jail system, but has not addressed any other criminal justice reforms that align with our values.
Due to her advocacy for former felons’ rights, gun violence prevention, and concern for opioid addiction, incumbent Shannon Taylor is the more progressive choice for Commonwealth’s Attorney in Henrico.Last updated: 2023-04-05

He wants to build more affordable housing in the 5th District, push the city government to develop a citywide affordable housing plan, revitalize the Hull Street Corridor, and address obstacles to obtaining permits at City Hall. Williamson wants to make the city government an effective and functioning partner with the community by supporting equity in hiring practices, more accountability with regularly published updates on initiatives and task forces, and implementing ethics recommendations.
