Cliff Hayes

"Cliff has been fighting for the 91st House District ALL of his life. He believes support for education, economic development, safe communities, and access to quality, affordable health care are key to the development of an even better Commonwealth of Virginia. Growing up in the South Norfolk borough of the City of Chesapeake, Cliff learned from many leaders in the community that the quality of life of a community has to be fought for."

He later joined Chesapeake Men for Progress and Chesapeake Forward where he witnessed the work and influence of leaders giving back by investing their time and resources to uplift others. Cliff eventually adopted the philosophy that his civic involvement and service is a debt that's owed. Hence, he's been paying it forward ever since."
