Greetings! My name is Tavorise K. Marks, and I am running for the Virginia House of Delegates District 62 Seat, which encompasses parts of Chesterfield and Henrico County, Prince George and the City of Hopewell. I am Virginia born and bred. I love my state and adore my community. Born in Richmond and raised in Brunswick County during my adolescent; I currently reside in Chester, Virginia. I live to serve my community and honor my family.

I AM NOT A POLITCIAN. I am very much just like you. I have worked hard for everything I have achieved, with nothing ever given to me. I am no stranger to hard work as my very first job at the age of 15 was working in a tobacco warehouse unloading 300 lb. bales of tobacco and tagging it for sale to the big tobacco companies. I enjoyed earning my income and contributing to the success of my community at that time. This work ethic has followed me throughout life as I became the first in my family to attend college. I am an Alumnus of The Norfolk State University, Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, The University of Virginia and I hold a Master’s Degree in Urban Affairs / Urban Planning. Professionally, I am a United States Army Military Intelligence Officer in the Virginia Army National Guard and a government employee for the Commonwealth. I previously served as the state Resilience Program Manager for the Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security and the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, as well as, the Director of Security for St. Catherine’s School, a Criminal Analyst for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and a Military Police Officer.

I am involved in my community with affiliations to include Elizabeth Scott Elementary PTA, NAACP Chesterfield Branch, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 31, Norfolk State University Alumni Association Central Virginia Chapter, NRA, Prince Hall F&AM Mason, Mount Gilead Full Gospel Ministries and the Military Officers Association of America.

I am running for the District 62 seat because I am fed up with the “business as usual approach” of the state government and our elected official not being held accountable for the negative repercussions of thier votes, that severely affect the citizens of the community. Our elected official should be a representation of the people and not the political elite. I believe that all schools should be treated and funded equally and teachers pay increased. I will fight to bring public transportation and better roadways to the district. I will fight tooth and nail for equal pay for women, women’s rights and to raise the minimum wage. I will work tirelessly to improve re-entry for returning citizens and decrease recidivism. I will listen to those who are ignored, and bring forth legislation to treat those citizens fighting addiction, and provide options for treatment and not confinement as well as improving mental health services. I will work for and answer to the community, YOU the people. I want to accomplish these goals for you because I am you, and Together We Can! I thank you for supporting my campaign.
