I pledge to never back down from the ideals of Liberty, Freedom, and Equal Justice for all.”- Restore Excellence in Education. Restore the highest standards. Empower parents. Direct funding to classrooms and away from bureaucracy/politics.
- Cut Costs and Promote Job Growth. Reduce the high cost of living by cutting taxes. Make it easier for businesses to grow and hire. Reduce burdensome regulations for startups and existing small businesses.
- Make it Easier to Vote & Harder to Cheat. Reinstate Virginia's photo ID law. Clean the voter rolls.
