Campaign website

Doran's campaign website stated the following:

“

We should be #1 in:

Schools

Virginia should have the best schools in the country.
Our literacy rates are falling. Our math scores are cratering. And after COVID, no one has offered a plan to get our kids academically on track after the disastrous distance learning experiment. Our schools should be the best in the country, our teachers should be the best in the country, and our students should be given the best opportunity to succeed in the country.

Safety

Virginia should be the safest place in the country.
Our streets should be safe. Our homes should be safe. Virginians should be safe, and should have the ability to protect themselves whatever may come.
Virginia should have the lowest crime, the best police force, and the safest communities in the country.

Jobs

Virginia should have the best job market and business climate in the country.
Virginia should have the lowest unemployment, the highest median salary, the highest job and business creation rates, and a regulatory schema that enables all Virginians to work good jobs at great pay.
We should not only be the best place to start a business, but the best place for large companies fleeing places like California and New York to move to.

Democrats want to move Virginia left. We need to move Virginia forward.

We need big ideas.

Voter Integrity Plan (VIP)

We owe it to Virginians to have the most secure, transparent, and quickly reported voting system in the country.
People need to have faith in their elections, and there should be no room for doubt as to whether an election was fair, free from interference and all and only legal votes are counted.
Further, results should be reported swiftly and completely.

Energy

We should be generating 70% of our electricity from safe and efficient Nuclear power.
The first step should expand the North Anna facility.
Virginia has an opportunity to power a lot of the South East and create a revenue stream for the Commonwealth. Further, we have an opportunity to generate the cleanest energy in the country.
We don’t want California style brownouts because of dangerous environmental schemes, we want reliable and clean energy production.

Phase Out the State Income Tax

Virginia is competing for companies and jobs against states that have no state income tax.
We need to phase out Virginia's state income tax and go to zero percent. It will unleash the job creation and dynamism of our economy.
Larger states are successful without an income tax. We have got to compete. Virginia should become one of the best places in the country to live, work, and do business without sacrificing services.

Anything is possible in Virginia.

Let’s elect leaders who want to make anything possible for you and your family. [1]
