Official Profile
Religion: Ordained Christian minister; M.Div (2002), Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology, Virginia Union University; minister at Faith Deliverance Christian Center (Norfolk)
Background: Democratic Delegate for District 92 (Norfolk); first elected Nov 2023 (seated Jan 2024), re-elected Nov 2025. Electrical/aviation engineer and university administrator — director of engineering student success at Old Dominion University.
VA Delegate, HD-92 (Norfolk); ordained minister and ODU engineer-administrator; in the House since 2024. [2026-06-02 RESOLUTE refinement, state tier] THIN evidence record — VPAP, LIS, Richmond Sunlight, LegiScan and Ballotpedia all returned 403/JS-blocked this pass, so her individual roll calls could not be confirmed. Only signals tied to her BY NAME are scored: ReproRising 2025 A+ 'Champion' grade ('Anthony, Bonita — A+') + Planned Parenthood Advocates of VA endorsement + her own public statement that the Dobbs leak inspired her to run 'to protect abortion access' (sanctity_of_life FALSE); and Giffords PAC naming her a 'gun safety champion (HD-92)' (self_defense FALSE). The same-sex-marriage amendment passed with the all-Democrat bloc she belongs to, but her individual roll-call line was NOT retrievable, so marriage and all other dimensions are left NULL rather than inferred from party. Recommend a browser-based pass to confirm her individual votes and upgrade the denominator.
