| Collapse all
- Gerrymandering and our present way of electing representation is pushing extremes into office and leaving large portions of voters unrepresented. We need to change how we do elections by creating multi-member districts that elect candidates by means of ranked choice voting. In this way even if a party normally gets 30% of the vote in a district it would have at least one representative. This will bring legitimacy to our elections and more accurately represent the voters. If this is not accomplished, given or current political climate, each state is likely to gerrymander itself into a one party state making elections outside of those that take place within the ruling party completely irrelevant.
- Where the federal government is stepping back Virginia needs to step up. The state needs to fully fund Medicaid and our schools as well as invest in public transport and infrastructure.
- Students in Virginia and the country in general are subjected to too much testing to the point that instruction is interrupted. Mandated testing must be significantly reduced. Elementary students need more recess time to develop social skills and burn off energy, while teachers needs more planning time. We should increase teacher planning time and student recess time to be in line with the rest of the developed world.
