I’m Laura Dent, and I’m running for Harrisonburg City Council.
Our community faces significant challenges in the coming years. I’d like to contribute my skills and experience to guide us through these challenges.
Over the 14 years I’ve lived in Harrisonburg, I’ve committed my time and energy to making a difference in business, academia, and citizen activism.
I consider myself a pragmatic progressive. I have both the passion to make a difference and the diligence to dig into the issues.
At Rosetta Stone, James Madison University, and as a freelance entrepreneur, I’ve offered my expertise in technical communication. I’ve juggled part-time jobs, so I can empathize with families who face financial insecurity.
As a Featured Entrepreneur with the Shenandoah Valley Innovation Coalition, I’ve collaborated with city leaders to foster an entrepreneurial ecosystem to support small businesses in Harrisonburg.
I’ve rallied in support of citizens’ rights in our remarkably diverse community and volunteered for causes and campaigns since 2008. I’ve knocked on doors all over this city. I’ve heard your concerns, and I’m inspired by your ideas.
I’m looking forward to representing you as a member of the Harrisonburg City Council. Thank you for your support.
