Paid for by Stephen For Kentucky
Who I am
I'm Stephen Delaney, an American Sign Language interpreter and founder of one of Richmond's premier
pet grooming salons.
I've studied in Washington, D.C. and earned degrees from Gallaudet University and Rochester Institute of Technology but when the time came to build a life and open my business,
I chose Richmond.
I believe Richmond can grow without losing its identity. We can welcome new opportunities while protecting the community spirit, local character, and sense of belonging that make people proud to call this city home.
What I Do
By day, I'm a nationally certified American Sign Language interpreter, helping people communicate in hospitals, clinics, schools, and throughout the community. My work is built on listening, understanding different perspectives, and making sure everyone has a voice at the table.
When I'm not interpreting, I'm probably covered in dog hair. As a professional pet groomer, I've had the privilege of getting to know many of Richmond families through the pets they love. Between interpreting and grooming, I've spent years serving people from all walks of life, and that's the perspective I hope to bring to City Commission.
