Lowering taxes for Virginia families. Strengthening individual liberty and due process. Eliminate vehicle taxes and make registration easier.
Individual liberty and due process. I believe that people deserve a voice and that the government shouldn't have absolute authority.
I look up to few people. Especially not politicians since I think that people have taken to political worship. I admire people who came from nothing and set out to make their lives better and the lives of others better.
I believe that Adam Smith, Frederic Bastiat, and Thomas Sowell are strong influences on my political philosophy.
Elected officials should never be paternalistic or think they are above those they serve.
I possess no special skill or education. I just recognize that people should be free and given due process.
Limit the size and scope of government.
Leaving a legacy of peace, fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, and lower regulatory burden on families would be ideal.
I remember Bill Clinton's affair scandal. I was a little girl and I couldn't understand why everyone was so obsessed over the President.
I worked for a non-profit called the American Rescue Workers. I worked there throughout my entire childhood because my family ran it. I did everything from annual food giveaways to helping with the thrift store.
My most awkward date was 3 hours late and then everything was closed. We ended up walking around. At the end of the date, he said he needed to take my bracelet as a guarantee I would call him again. We're married now. That's Mr. Mace.
Christmas is my favorite holiday. I enjoy spending time with family and creating a magical holiday for them.
My favorite book is Airframe by Michael Crichton. I read it as a teenager and was obsessed with aviation from there on.
I'd be Susan from the Chronicles of Narnia. I always identified with her and imagined I was her.
My favorite thing is my air conditioning. I have a hard time regulating my body temperature and I am forever grateful I have this modern luxury.
Seventh Element by Vitas. I watch a lot of funny reaction videos with my kids and that song got stuck in my head.
Financial success has been a lifelong struggle. I grew up poor and at times in my 20's, lived in my car. I never forget that period in my life and I don't want to go back.
I think there's good checks and balances in the legislature theoretically, but frankly, in today's political climate, it's created gridlock. Political parties refuse to work with each other.
I think people who spend too much time working in government are bad legislators. They have conflicting incentives and over time, end up thinking they are above those they serve. Regular people should serve because there's no special skill that comes from legislating. In fact, it's so divided, little gets done at all.
Virginia risks losing residents as it becomes more burdensome to live here. As boomers retire and we're due for another downturn, there's a lot of taxes and burdens residents of the Commonwealth must endure that they otherwise would not in other states.
I believe the governor and legislature should have a friendly relationship, but it's not up to the governor to set and insist upon an agenda. Instead, the governor should be weighing the bills sent to that person without regard to political points it scores for whatever side that person is on.
It's beneficial to build relationships with the legislature. However, boundaries should be set. You shouldn't be "owned" by a side, political party, or lobbyist. It's crucial to always remain objective even if relationships are strained by that objectivity.
I think districts should be drawn fairly, no gerrymandering, and the process should be fully transparent.
I'd like appropriations, transportation, or public safety.
The Libertarians have to presence in Virginia legislature. I would love to be the first.
No. I want to be totally different. I want to give power back to the citizens.
I am interested in running for Congress in the future.
One of my neighbors immigrated here from Latin America. She talks about the richness of her culture and loves that our neighborhood is a collection of people from different cultures and backgrounds. She told me it was the America she envisioned when she immigrated.
