DINWIDDIE, VA --- Lifelong Virginian and political newcomer Kimberly Pope Adams announced on Monday her candidacy for Virginia’s “new” 82nd House District. The new 82nd House District, following the Supreme Court of Virginia’s approved redistricting map, includes most of her home Dinwiddie County, parts of Prince George County, all of the City of Petersburg, and all of Surry County.
 
“Being born and raised in this community, I share the needs and concerns of the district," Adams stated. "I see how crime and violence devastate our neighborhoods. As the parent of a public school student athlete, I recognize we must adequately fund our K-12 schools—and adequately pay our educators. I am a working single mother, and I know how it feels to have to choose between putting food on the table or gas in the tank.
 
For over 16 years, I have worked tirelessly as a public servant of the Commonwealth of Virginia. While employed as a government auditor, I learned how to identify waste, abuse and misuse of taxpayer dollars. All Virginians deserve a Delegate who is willing to seek transparency and accountability on their behalf, and I am determined to provide for the people of House District 82.”
