About Rhonda Fields

Outside of her public duties, Senator Fields has founded the Fields Wolfe Memorial Fund, a community center and nonprofit started in the memory of her late son, Javad and his fiancée Vivian. Rhonda has one remaining daughter, Maisha Fields, and two glorious grandchildren, each of whom is a beacon of light in Rhonda’s life.
