Campaign themes
2011
Kondratick's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
- Transportation
Excerpt: "To be sure, there aren’t any silver bullets or easy solutions. I believe any approach to fixing transportation must include tactics for taking cars off of our clogged roadways, moving the traffic we do have more efficiently, and expanding our road and transit networks in sensible ways."
- Education
Excerpt: "State formulas should ensure we get our fair share of school funding to prepare kids for Northern Virginia’s high-tech economy. And when it’s our tax dollars helping fund Virginia colleges and universities, we need to make sure our kids are first in line."
- Economic Development
Excerpt: "Expanding our corporate tax base means more jobs, higher property values, and more money flowing into schools—as well as reduced pressure on property tax rates. We can accomplish this in a way that doesn’t sacrifice our open spaces or quality of life- but only with support from the House of Delegates, which I will fight for every day in Richmond."
- Protecting our Environment
Excerpt: "Virginia needs a renewable energy standard that delivers jobs and protects our environment. With other states in the Mid-Atlantic Region already having a standard, we are being left behind in this opportunity to lure new businesses or help existing small businesses develop new revenue. Nor can we hope to create more competition in the production and generation of energy that can lead to reduced prices and a reduction in dependence on dirty energy sources."
