LAMBERT: JOB GIVES INSIGHT

Beverly Lambert says she has background and experience that has prepared her to serve on Roanoke City Council.

Lambert, a legislative aide to state Del. Steve Agee, R-Salem, also has worked as an area representative for U.S. Sen. John Warner, R-Va. And she has served as a board member for the Roanoke PTA, Catholic Charities and the Comprehensive Health Investment Project.

Lambert said her experience working with federal, state and local governments helps her understand how the three operate and interact.

She is seeking the Republican nomination for City Council because, she said, she wants to help achieve her dream of Roanoke as a place free from drugs, with excellent education, safe streets and healthy, growing businesses.

Lambert said she would try to increase parental involvement in schools, seek more money for law-enforcement agencies, and increase the marketing of the Roanoke Valley as a location for business.

Lambert, 48, is a Texas native who has lived in the Roanoke Valley since 1969. She is a graduate of Wake Forest University and has worked as a substitute teacher in Roanoke schools and as business manager for her husband's public relations company, John Lambert Associates, Inc.

An executive member of the Roanoke Republican Committee, Lambert is also president of the Roanoke City Republican Women's Club.

If Lambert and Councilwoman Elizabeth Bowles are nominated as expected, it will give the Republicans a ticket with two women - a first for a council slate in Roanoke.

The Democrats' ticket also includes one woman, Renee Anderson. Half of the six council candidates are women.
