- Defending The Constitution
- Excerpt: "When we limit government intrusion in our small businesses and expect every able-bodied Virginian to work, live freely, and lead productive lives; we all benefit. I will defend Virginians from federal health care mandates and any other attempts by Washington to intrude in our liberties."
- Protecting Our Common Conservative Values
- Excerpt: "I will uphold and defend our common Virginian conservative values while working for you in Richmond. I believe in our right to legally and safely bear arms and will defend the Constitution's Second Amendment from being watered down or infringed upon by any legislation or bureaucracy."
