I am honored to have served as your Treasurer since 2019 and would appreciate your support for my campaign to continue as the Treasurer of Virginia Beach.

​

I have spent the past several years making changes and updates in the office to bring a more positive experience for the citizens of the City. We continue to make technological advances in the office. We have expanded our online capabilities and plan to continue that expansion. 

​

In 2024 we completed our 6th annual Unclaimed Property Discovery Day to assist citizens in finding uncashed checks, dividends, bank accounts, and other money. In the past 6 years, we have been able to facilitate the return of over $1,500,000 to citizens.

​

Beginning July 1, 2024, at my request and approved by City Council, there is now a 5 day grace period following the due dates for personal property and real estate tax bills. My request to City Council was the result of 2 major issues facing citizens:

• Excessive penalties for late payments immediately after the due date.

• Problems with the USPS delivery of tax bills to citizens and payments mailed back to the Treasurer's Office.

​

The past few years have not been without their challenges. Throughout those challenging times, I and my staff have persevered, and always done what is in the best interest of not only the citizens, but the City itself. These trying times are where experience, knowledge, and dedication to you and to the office is crucial.
