Alexander, Dolmo and Leeman compete for Norfolk mayoral race

“Small businesses are the backbone to our community. It’s the backbone to our city and we have to make sure that we are helping them,” he said.

Leeman, a former chair for the Downtown Norfolk Council, said the city must help small businesses with grants and make the permit process easier.  

“We’re not focused on education the way we should be, and another thing is getting grants for communities that really need them,” said Leeman.

Leeman says he would focus on issues that matter to the City of Norfolk, including giving more thought to collective bargaining.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 5.
