Issues

Second Amendment

The Second Amendment is absolute, and in Richmond I will continue to defend it, just as I have in Louisa.  I led the effort to designate Louisa County as a Second Amendment Sanctuary County and eliminated the Conceal Carry Permit Fee. I will take these experiences with me  to fight for our rights to keep and bear arms.

Taxes and Regulation

We’re seeing inflation at its highest levels in decades. Virginians are paying more at the pump and at the grocery store counter which is hurting the economic welfare of families everywhere. This is a direct result of out-of-control government spending and increase in taxes and regulations. In Richmond, I’ll keep a close eye on the budget and make sure our tax dollars are spent efficiently and transparently. Our small businesses are incredibly important to our community and I will have their backs in Richmond.

Law Enforcement

The Left has vilified our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day for our safety. I am 100% pro-police and will stand up to attempts to make their jobs harder by cutting funding or removing qualified immunity. I support pay raises for our state troopers, sheriffs’ deputies, first responders, and other public safety individuals.

Life

I am pro-life and will go to Richmond to advocate for the unborn. We’ve seen radical attempts to allow abortions up to the moment of birth and I will staunchly oppose any efforts to expand abortion here in Virginia. I applaud conservative states like Texas and Mississippi who have taken steps to limit abortion access and look forward to working with my colleagues to take such steps here in Virginia.

Education

The woke leftist movement to push harmful curricula like Critical Race Theory onto our children is despicable. I’ve opposed such movements in Louisa and I will do so in Richmond. We owe it to the next generation of Virginians to teach our full history, based on facts, so that we can have an understanding of what makes our country the greatest in the history of the world. I’ll stand up to teachers’ unions to which Democrats are beholden and fight for choice in our schools.

Voter Integrity

Democrats want to expand voting rights to the point of opening the door for fraud and corruption. Voter integrity is of utmost importance to me – we need safe, free, and fair elections. We need to bring back photo ID laws and purge voter rolls on a regular basis. I will also work to curtail early voting from 45 days down to a more reasonable length of time.
