Candidate Parker wants to extend progressive policies

Richmond mayoral candidate Mike Parker, 73, is a former auto worker and an organizer in the Richmond Progressive Alliance.  Parker spoke to Richmond Pulse about why he entered the race, job training for Richmond youth, and corporate influence over local politics.  "I believe that most of the change that takes place in a city isn’t because there is one great leader but because there is a movement of people and leaders in the city working together."  This is the first in a series of interviews with Richmond mayoral candidates on Richmond Pulse.
