Expand all | Collapse all

I am a populist activist who worked in campaigns across the country, advocating for individual liberties, responsible governance, and tax relief for working families. I settled in Crystal City after falling in love with the friendly, welcoming, and diverse community. I have seen a lot of America, but there is no place that is as kind, hard-working, and good-hearted as Northern Virginia. 
    The past year has shown me how imperiled our Commonwealth is. While Amazon erects a taxpayer-funded monstrosity a few blocks away, our local businesses are being shuttered by pointless restrictions and crippling taxes. It is time for the state government to start treating Arlington and Fairfax families with the same care they show for Jeff Bezos.
I am running for the 49th District of the General Assembly so WE can have a voice.
  • Fight Amazon
  • Provide Tax Relief for All Virginia Families
  • Ban Lockdowns, Mask Mandates, & Vax Passports
While they were hiking your taxes, Northam's Legislature gave Amazon $750 million in tax credit subsidies! Amazon responded to this generosity by censoring anti-lockdown writers, silencing President Trump, and slandering American patriots with their unregistered super-PAC, The Washington Post. Now they are paying to install the hateful ideology of Critical Race Theory in Arlington Public Schools.
It is possible for us to stand up to Amazon. We can pass a common carrier law, so that if Amazon wishes to continue receiving government granted liability shields and campaign finance immunity, they must agree to actually respect the Fourteenth Amendment and stop censoring dissident voices on their numerous platforms. We can ban any future lockdowns, be it from the governor or the county, so people feel comfortable investing again in local businesses. We can stop Amazon's indoctrination of our students by banning critical race theory from ever being taught in any Virginia public school. And we can create a fair tax code that demands Amazon return what it stole from the Virginia taxpayer!
The biggest role models in my life are and have always been my parents, Michael and Colleen Kilcullen. Devout Christians who sacrificed everything for their family, they taught my brothers and I to love our country and always follow our American Dream. All the success I have I owe to them.

Another role model of mine is President Trump. Despite being subjected to the most vicious attacks imaginable, he never backed down from a fight. Every day for four years, President Trump battled foreign dictators, corrupt politicians, ruthless corporations, heartless bureaucrats, and a deceitful establishment media in order to Make America Great Again. He should be a model for any Virginian seeking public office office.
If you haven't already, read Thomas Paine's COMMON SENSE. This book revolutionized the colonies that would soon become America by depicting a future based on representation by the people, not by elites and 'experts.' The sad thing, though, is if this book was written today, Amazon would censor it with a single click.
The most important principle is a reverence to the values of our Founding: That ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, and endowed by God with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The core responsibility of an elected official is to represent ALL Virginians, not just the ones at the top.
The first event I remember is the Bush/Gore Election, which occurred when I was six years old. It was sobering twenty years later to watch the Dems use the same election-stealing tactics which the Supreme Court struck down in 2000 to deny President Trump his second term.
My first job was working as an amusement park operator at Six Flags. This job, which I had for three years, taught me the value of hard work. I am heartbroken that Northam's pointless regulations and lockdowns are preventing our next generation from having access to these invaluable entry job opportunities.
COMMON SENSE by Thomas Paine. It shows why a government should come from the people, not aristocratic elites.
Captain America.
"Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj. Isn't it striking that she showed more backbone standing up against vaccine insanity than 90% of the Republican Caucus?
The past two years have shown a Legislature that acted as a rubber stamp for Ralph Northam's far-left agenda. This is terrifying. Our lawmakers should stand up to petty Richmond tyrants, not capitulate.

The lawmakers in the 2021 Legislature need to have the courage to fight for their own constituents instead of bureaucrats and corporations. Furthermore, we must work to ensure this new Legislature will have the opportunity to serve under a principled leader like Glenn Youngkin, rather than a lifelong political hack like Terry McAuliffe.
Our state's greatest challenge is the Amazon corporation. Now that it has gotten a taste for subsidies, Amazon will continue to demand greater and greater handouts. It will also continue to impose its far-left agenda on the Commonwealth, illegally censoring dissident voices on its platforms and trying to bribe more schools into pushing CRT.
This is why it is so important to fight Amazon. We need to pass a common carrier law, we need to prohibit future lockdowns, we need to expel CRT from our schools, and we need to create a FAIR tax code that treats our families and local businesses with the same respect shown to Seattle monopolies.
There are no benefits to a unicameral legislature, only drawbacks. Our Founders knew that a government, be it at the Commonwealth or federal level, needs a system of checks and balances. A unicameral legislature would obliterate that, bringing Virginia one-step closer to mob rule.

Instead of eliminating half our Legislature, we should amend the Virginia Constitution to have the Senate distributed by county rather than population. This way all voices have an opportunity to be heard.
No, I do not. George Washington had no experience as a politician before attending the Constitutional Convention to create the greatest system of governance the world has ever known. In contrast, Ralph Northam spent a decade in politics before taking over the governorship, and we have all seen how THAT worked out.
Yes, absolutely. I have already built valuable friendships with some of my fellow candidates, and I know that the new Republican majority will be united in their resolve to help ALL Virginians, not just the ones at the top.
Ballot Measure One created a nonpartisan redistricting committee. Northam and his Legislature should respect that, rather than trying to interfere with the will of the Commonwealth.
I would wish to be a member of the Committee on Communications, Technology, and Innovation. There, I could craft common carrier legislation that guarantees that so long as Big Tech monopolies like Amazon collect liability and campaign finance immunity, they must respect the Fourteenth Amendment and stop censoring dissident voices. I would also follow the lead of California and pass a state net neutrality law, so telecomm giants like AT&T are likewise prohibited from censoring new media sites.
It should come as no surprise that I, a student of George Mason University, would look to that Virginia Founding Father and House of Delegates Member as a model for what a lawmaker should be. It was Mason's words that Thomas Jefferson quoted when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, and it was Mason who drafted the proposal that would one day become the Bill of Rights. I would want to be like that American icon: Uncompromisingly dedicated to preserving personal liberties and opportunity.
No, I am not a career politician. I am running because the House of Delegates spent only nine minutes of debate before granting Amazon $750 million in subsidies to pollute my home of Crystal City with their hideous HQ2. It is wrong that Northam's Legislature is more focused on helping Seattle monopolies than our local businesses and families. I chose to enter this race to fight against that, not to advance my career.
Every day I hear about another life destroyed by the lockdowns. People lost businesses they spent decades building. Students saw their futures eliminated by being forced home for a crucial year of school. Families were torn apart.
The saddest part is that the lockdown served no purpose except to make Amazon rich. This is why Amazon censored anti-lockdown writers, and tyrants like Ralph Northam paid no heed to the early, successful reopenings of states like Florida. We can never let this happen ever again.
Ralph Northam.
The Legislature should remove the governors emergency powers. No person should be able to lockdown our Commonwealth ever again.
Yes. Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

At the same time, though, it is important to always remain true to your values. Just because something seems popular doesn't mean it is right.
