RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) – Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones is considering a bid for Chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia (DPV), according to Jones’ Deputy Chief of Staff Don Mark.

Mark said  DPV chairwoman Charniele Herring planned to step down at a March 15 meeting. Her replacement would be voted on at that time.
