Campaign themes
2016
Vie's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
Education
- Excerpt: "As your Representative, Valerie will most assuredly fight for increased student performance, improved working conditions, and appropriate pay for school personnel. However, Valerie does not and will not support the privatization of public education."
Increasing minimum wage
- Excerpt: "As your Representative, Valerie will make it her priority to fight for increasing the minimum wage to a living wage. Valerie believes that we must first demonstrate our respect for labor by raising minimum wage out of the poverty zone."
Cityhood
- Excerpt: "Traveling around the district, Valerie is frequently asked about the issue of cityhood. While it is a hot topic, there are more questions and concerns than answers. There will inevitably be changes to the governance of South Fulton, whether through annexation or cityhood. Consequently, the residents of South Fulton have some important decisions ahead."
Religious Freedom Restoration Act
- Excerpt: "The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) can be summed up in one word: alarming. It threatens to codify discrimination based on the personal prejudices of an individual."
