Angela isn’t a career politician—she’s a public servant with a proven record of building safer communities, restoring broken institutions, and bringing people together across lines of difference.

All About Angela

Senior Police Advisor, U.S. Embassy, Afghanistan

Senior Police Advisor,

U.S. Embassy, Afghanistan

​​With over three decades of law enforcement, crisis response, and international peacekeeping experience, Angela has served at the front lines of conflict and the heart of community. She rose through the ranks of the DeKalb County Police Department, where she led units tackling violent crime, launched one of Georgia’s first community policing programs, and earned a reputation for integrity, fairness, and results.

After that, she answered the call to serve globally—helping rebuild war-torn police systems in Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Haiti. Angela worked hand-in-hand with local leaders, military partners, and the U.S. State Department to restore public safety, reform broken institutions, and build coalitions across ethnic and political divides.

Through it all, she’s remained grounded in the same values that define so many Virginians—hard work, common sense, and a deep belief in the power of community.

Now, Angela is running for the House of Delegates because she sees how our public institutions are struggling—and she knows we can do better. Whether it’s ensuring access to quality healthcare, supporting family farms, defending public education, or improving infrastructure in rural communities, Angela believes solutions start with listening, with lifting up everyday people, and with rebuilding trust from the ground up.

  • Angela is capable—she’s led real change in the most difficult conditions on Earth.

  • She’s viable—because the people are ready for someone who puts service over politics.

  • She will win—because when we build a coalition of decent, everyday people, we are unstoppable.

  • Angela is ready to serve again. Not for power. Not for party. But for people. For Virginia.
