From the Nominations: “Highly motivated commercial litigation lawyer, intelligent, hard-working, well-informed on political and social and legal issues whose goal is to be POTUS in the not-too-distant future, and I believe she would be perfect to lead our country and make wise decisions on behalf of the American people and in foreign policy. Has been involved in local programs to help the underprivileged in our area. Speaks Spanish fluently and loves tinkering around in her recently purchased home and does much of the repairs and remodeling herself. Is not afraid to ask for help or ask questions but also not afraid of researching and getting the answers herself. Grubb is a remarkable young woman with a heart for people of all ages and ethnicity and is quite knowledgeable of different programs available in order to help them. I believe this country needs a person like Grubb to bring our people back together again as an undivided country and in my opinion, she’s the one who can accomplish the tough tasks of a high political figure.”
How does your passion impact our community?
Grubb: “I love the obvious things – the mountains, the outdoors emphasis, the food, the coffee shops, the breweries, but what I really love is that Roanoke is a great town for young professionals to thrive. There is no shortage of opportunity to get involved and invest in the area and build both a rewarding career and a meaningful community.”
