- Accessible, Responsive Government
- Excerpt: "Government needs to recognize that it works for the people, not the other way around."

- Excerpt: "Steve believes that government intervention in the economy should be focused on penalizing fraud and preventing practices that harm people, pets and property, not in bureaucrats trying to micromanage industries."
- Transportation
- Excerpt: "Steve favors a solutions-focused approach to Northern Virginia’s transportation problems. This involves taking in-depth look at alternatives rather than merely throwing taxpayer dollars at a problem."

- Individual and Human Rights
