Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
Education and Workforce Development: Improve our children’s education by empowering parents and local communities, not bureaucrats in Richmond. First Responders: Provide the support and health care coverage that people in these life-preserving careers deserve. Healthcare: End crippling premiums. Improve healthcare for all by promoting free market solutions. Encourage innovation and competition. Fight the expansion of failed government-run care. Infrastructure: Fight for the peninsula’s fair share to fix our roads and bridges and improve the local shipping lanes without raising your tax dollars. Fight to ensure state-of-the art broadband to support our growing economy. Jobs: Encourage continued job growth and opportunities within the Commonwealth by promoting innovation and limiting taxation and regulation. Virginia’s Right-to-Work laws are vital to attract large corporations and incentivize the growth of small businesses. That status must be maintained. Is there anything you would like to add? I am running for Delegate to represent Virginia’s 91st District because I believe every member of our community deserves an advocate in Richmond who will fight to secure and to strengthen our families and communities and to secure opportunities for all.[2] |
