| Collapse all
- Education & Parental Rights I’m running to reform education in our public schools to focus on academics, not gender, racial, or social theories. Kids need core skills such as reading, math, and critical thinking to succeed. Education should prepare students for the future, not burden their present with divisive ideologies. I’ll ensure parents have full access to curricula and can opt out of objectionable content. Parental consent for medical or sensitive school decisions and activities is non-negotiable. I’ll push for safe schools, well-funded classrooms, and empowered teachers.
- Economic Development & Right to Work I’ll preserve VA’s Right to Work laws, protecting workers’ freedom to choose on unions and keeping our economy competitive. I’ll fight union-backed threats to ensure job growth and higher wages. To make Hampton Roads the East Coast’s manufacturing powerhouse, I’ll invest in rail lines, ports, roadways, and airports, leveraging our underutilized waterways. These upgrades will attract businesses and create jobs. I’ll cut taxes and red tape to boost manufacturing.
- Combating Human Trafficking I’ll fight human trafficking with unyielding resolve in Hampton Roads. I’ll boost funding for police, ensuring robust task forces and specialized training to hunt down traffickers and buyers. Tougher penalties will send a clear message: predators face justice. Victims will get shelters, counseling, and job training to rebuild lives, with coerced records expunged. I’ll fund targeted awareness campaigns in schools to protect kids from online traps. By tackling poverty smartly, we’ll shield the vulnerable.
