Terrence Walker is the kind of guy who neighbors come to for solutions to community issues. Lately it’s been people speeding up and down the streets. Now, Terrence is on the board of the Parks and recreation department, but I don’t think the drivers speeding are doing it for recreational purposes. I doubt that will stop Terrence from bringing neighbors together to come to figure out solutions.
Terrence and his wife, Tracy, joined the parent-teacher association at their son's elementary school, even before their son was old enough to attend the school, to ensure that he obtained a quality public education. Over the years, Terrence has served on the PTA at their son's elementary, middle, and high school and is the previous Varina representative on the Henrico County Council PTA. In 2022, Terrence was honored by the Henrico PTA Council and the elected school board member for the Varina district for his leadership, civic engagement, and support of schools and educators.
Terrence currently serves as a political appointee on the Henrico County Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC) as a Varina representative. He has enjoyed speaking to local media about the mental and physical health benefits of green space and the Virginia Capital Trail. Terrence is a member of the Dorey Park Farmers Market Board of Directors and is passionate about reducing food deserts in his local community. He is also the previous At-Large Member of the Henrico National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
Walker has spent over 16 years working in the community on a variety of community service projects: supporting the children of incarcerated parents through a holiday program, providing technology to child development centers, sponsoring health fairs in local barbershops to address health disparities among black men, addressing police-community issues, and serving on numerous non-profit boards.
Terrence and his son Joseph
Terrence works as an administrator at a local university in a mental health department where he established a college food pantry for students and established a scholarship for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students. His support for students comes from his own experience as a first-generation college student.
Blaze Walker — ready to go!
Because of his concern about environmental issues, Terrence has worked with community activists to address pollution and public health issues created by a local landfill. He petitioned the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to hold the landfill accountable for multiple environmental violations.
Terrence is the current Vice Chair of the Henrico County Democratic Committee. For over a decade, he has canvassed for many elected officials and worked at the precinct level to help elect Democrats to national, state, and local officials. In 2019, Terrence served as an Alternative Delegate at the Democratic National Convention. henricodemocrats.org/...
I don’t think it’s going very far out on a limb to say that, yes, Terrence Walker is very much qualified to represent the people of Virginia’s HD81.
