A Henrico police officer was killed. "There is no justice today." "There is no
justice today."
★
Henrico Police Officer Trey Sutton was 24 when he was killed in the line of
duty. In March 2022, 18-year-old Jeffrey Lankford crashed into his cruiser;
Sutton died the next day.
Lankford pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, facing up to 20 years.
Under a plea deal negotiated by my opponent Shannon Taylor's office, his
punishment was two months of house arrest.
“There is no justice today.” — Officer Sutton's fiancée, in court
UP TO 20 YEARS Faced under the charge → 2 MONTHS House arrest, under Taylor's
deal
Even Taylor acknowledged the result fell short of what the Sutton family had
hoped for.
Discretion still has to produce accountability. When a life is lost, it has to
mean more than two months at home.
As a member of Congress, I will always stand with the men and women who
protect our communities, and the victims who depend on our justice system to
fight for them.
Do you stand with Officer Sutton's family and Virginia's law enforcement?
Yes — I Do! <[link removed]>
John, we need all the support we can get in the general election. The DCCC is
throwing in all of their support and money to turn this seat red and flip the
House blue.
I ask, please consider giving $10, $15, or $25 to keep this grassroots
campaign afloat.
