Kristin earned her Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania, and her MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of Business. Throughout her 30-year career, she worked in technology and finance as a program manager specializing in new product launches and initiatives.
Actively engaged in her community, Kristin serves on the board of an organization providing equine therapy to veterans, first responders, and individuals with physical and emotional disabilities. She is a job counselor at a nonprofit dedicated to helping women overcome challenges and achieve financial stability. In addition, Kristin is an energetic member of several arts and professional organizations.- Economic Growth
We must promote a healthy pro-jobs and pro-business environment. Property taxes, vehicle taxes, and business regulations hurt the taxpayer and endanger our property values and way of life. I will work toward eliminating the vehicle tax, capping property taxes, and curtailing business regulations. I will stand with small business owners, and I will fight every day to lower taxes and costs for every Virginian. Why? Because it’s your money and it belongs in your wallet.
Government must be held fiscally accountable. - Education: A Return to Merit and Standards of Excellence For Fairfax County to remain competitive, we must have quality schools where children are actually taught Math, English, and Science. Fairfax County students have suffered from learning loss and test scores have continued to plummet. It will take a coordinated effort at the state and county levels to get our students back on track. As your Delegate in Richmond, I will be your voice to return us to a merit-based system that does not discriminate against students due to race, respects parents’ rights, and provides a physically safe environment for students to learn without being bullied.
- Public Safety As a military spouse and mother, Kristin Hoffman is a staunch supporter of Virginia’s police officers, first responders, and veterans. For Virginia to remain competitive with neighboring states, Kristin would like to explore options for expanding Virginia’s retirement programs and healthcare, to retain the most qualified police officers. Kristin also believes qualified immunity should be enforced uniformly throughout Virginia for police officers following procedures in the line of duty. Likewise, we need to provide our law enforcement with the legal tools and support to keep criminals off the streets and out of our neighborhoods.
A brilliant woman who did not let others define her. She was very persistent, thoughtful, and known for researching the issues thoroughly. Early in my career around 1992, I met her at the Library of Congress’ National Demonstration Lab. She just walked in during her lunch break to ask questions about digital imaging. No airs. She simply wanted to learn all that she could about an emerging technology of the time.
I grew up outside of Orlando. My mother loaded us up into the old station wagon and drove us to Cape Canaveral to watch the launch. As children, we whined about how we had to get out of bed so early. She told us, “Get in the car! This is history in the making. You will thank me in 20 years!” On the 20th anniversary I called her to say, “Thank you!” I still get tears in my eyes when I think of my mother. She never stopped encouraging us to learn and dream.
He also bravely brought the highest individual tax rate down from 70% to 28% and restructured the tax code, effectively reigniting the economy during an economically challenging time. He was not afraid to try new policies. And, his "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" speech was historic and still quoted today as the turning point in the breakup of the Soviet Union. While his presidency faced many problems that seemed insurmountable, he left the White House with the highest approval rating (68%) since Franklin Roosevelt.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurial Management from The Wharton School of Business.
Throughout my career, I worked in technology as a program / product manager specializing in new product launches and initiatives. To summarize my professional experience, I think creatively, holistically, and thoughtfully to make things happen!
Currently, I am on the Board of a wonderful non-profit that provides equine assisted therapy and adaptive therapeutic riding to veterans and people with visible and/or hidden disabilities. I have dedicated myself making things better.
When I'm not volunteering or attending meetings, I can be found hiking with my family, walking my dogs, reading about history, or riding my horse.
- I will be a respectful and thoughtful voice. We need healthy, well-informed debate to truly discern the issues and subsequently, develop effective and meaningful solutions. To legislate effectively, leaders must be able to analyze the data, understand the underlying facts, and think holistically when it comes to implementing effective legislation. We must grasp the implications of our proposals. What are the upstream causes that need to be addressed as well as the downstream effects? What metrics should we monitor to determine success or failure? What are our strategies to pivot when our actions go off course or fail to meet expectations? Too often our politicians respond with emotions instead of well thought-out policies.
- We’re living in times of economic uncertainty. It’s harder than ever to buy a home. Everything from gas to groceries is more expensive, and government regulations are hurting small businesses. We to need cut the pointless regulations that are contributing to rising costs. I believe in fiscal responsibility and will strive to eliminate waste from our budgets, while demanding financial accountability in Richmond. I will stand with small business owners, will fight every day to lower taxes and costs for every Virginian. Why? Because it’s your money and it belongs in your wallet. It’s time for change!
- In Fairfax County, the quality of our children’s education has taken a backseat to partisan agendas. Furthermore, our children suffered from significant learning losses that stemmed from the pandemic and we do not seem to be catching back up. It will take coordinated, common-sense leadership, both at the state and county levels to get our students back on-track. As your Delegate in Richmond, I will be your respectful voice fighting to address the shortcomings in our area’s schools. To get us back on track, schools must: 1) respect parents’ rights to raise their children; 2) teach students “how to think, not what to think;” and 3) provide a physically safe and respectful environment for students to learn, grow, and feel secure.
Currently, we are short over 200 law enforcement professionals in Fairfax County. To reverse this troubling trend, we must support our officers with hiring and retention programs as well a training and development opportunities. It is time for change, we must introduce State legislation that will help to keep us all safe.
