RICHMOND, Va. – On his 262nd day officially in office, Richmond City Mayor Levar Stoney will take over the CBS 6 Instagram account for our summer takeover series. Stoney is the city’s 80th mayor, and also the youngest ever elected to lead the city. He beat six opponents (one dropped out days prior) by capturing five of the nine city voting districts and edging out candidate Jack Berry in the popular vote, 35,525 (36 percent) to 33,447 (34 percent).

The theme of the summer #CBS6Takeover on Instagram is “RVA Makers.” They are the artisans, fabricators, designers, tinkerers, and influencers whose work helps shape metro-Richmond.

Eight other makers have hosted a takeover this summer — artists, barbers, publishers, photographers, and engineers – each showing you an inside glimpse of their world. It’s a chance for you to engage and ask them questions, and perhaps discover something new and meaningful.
