Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I will never waver in my support of Virginia’s law enforcement officers. Learn more

I will be unequivocally pro-law enforcement and push back against the dangerous ‘defund the police’ movement that makes everyone less safe. People across the commonwealth are dealing with the consequences of politicians in Richmond who don’t respect and support law enforcement — to reverse course, get criminals off the street and make Virginia safer for our children, I’m ready to retake the Senate and back the blue. Backing the blue also means that I stand behind law-abiding citizens. Because Virginians deserve to feel safe, and I will repeal soft on crime legislation that has put Virginia families in danger.

Education

I believe all parents have the right to have a voice in their child’s education. Education is the key to our commonwealth’s future and the future of kids everywhere. That education should be led by local communities who listen parents who truly have children’s’ best interests at heart. We must fund and support our teachers and school systems while listening to the families they serve — I will work with Governor Youngkin and my colleagues to protect parents’ rights and build the best school system possible.

Environment / Energy

I’m committed to doing everything I can to protect our people and institutions from flooding and the impacts of natural disasters on the Virginia coast and in the Bay. When those impacts are felt, we need improved ratings from the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System to give Virginians the relief they deserve. The Norfolk Naval Base and Joint Base Langley-Eustis are vital parts of our economy and communities. I will fight for their protection and the rights of the people of Hampton Roads to set the policy that impacts our families. Learn more

Guns

I have proudly defended the Constitution, especially the Second Amendment. I oppose efforts to criminalize law abiding gun owners. In the General Assembly I will work to stiffen penalties for those who use guns to commit crime while supporting our constitutional right to bear arms. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

In Richmond, I will support common sense transportation solutions that prioritize our infrastructure needs while keeping costs low for consumers. We must work to cut commute times and ease traffic on the Peninsula. I will support a comprehensive study to enhance our infrastructure and move forward with solutions that get people where they are going quicker. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

I will support cutting the gas tax, repealing the grocery tax, following Governor Youngkin’s lead to cut taxes on Virginians and work to get rising costs under control for Virginia families. Learn more
