Issue positions

On her official website, Vanderhye lists her legislative priorities as transportation, education, and energy & conservation.[3]

  • Transportation - "We need dedicated, sufficient, and sustainable transportation funding, and we need to make sure our decisions about growth and our decisions about transportation infrastructure relate to each other in a deliberate, coherent manner"
  • Education - "Our students must be first class critical thinkers, not just great test-takers. We need to continue recruit and retain teachers who are dedicated to their profession and to our children."
  • Energy & conservation - "We need a comprehensive environmental program in Virginia, one that encourages conservation and the development of renewable energy sources. By doing so we can also spur economic development in economically stressed areas of Virginia."
