Get StartedI am grateful that our state has restored the voting rights to felons that have served completed their sentences. I will propose legislation make this permanent and add gun rights and any other rights that were taken away by their felon status. Once you have done your time, you should not continue to be punished. Learn more
Will increase the funding of the public defenders. Learn more
Will make it so that only driving offenses can result in the loss of ones drivers license. Learn more
Will remove any incentive or quotas for police officers to arrest people or hand out citations. Learn more
Will instruct prosecutors to prosecute perjury of state officials as a high priority and sentences will be doubled. Learn more
Changes must be made to the Commonwealth’s judicial system and law enforcement all over the state. Learn more
I will propose legislation to make it so property can only be forfeited after a guilty verdict or guilty plea on a felony. Restore justice to those not convicted. Learn more
Will require state and local police to video tape all interviews with suspects. Learn more
Will make the state will cover all costs (bail, attorney’s fees, and lost wages) for those found not guilty of felonies and misdemeanors. Anybody charged with felonies but only convicted of misdemeanors will also have their court cost covered. Learn more
Will make those unable to pay a fine be able to do community service instead. Learn more
Will make it that state and local police will be required to use, and the state will fund, body cameras while on patrol. Learn more
I will propose or support legislation to decriminalize personal use amounts of all drugs, not just marijuana. Learn more
I support “Backpack Funding.” Children will be given a certain amount of money depending on their grade and special needs. Parents will be able to choose any school they want and the funding will follow the child. This money can be used for public education in or out of district, for private schools, or for tutors and materials for home schooled children. It is time to allow low-income families to be able to send their children to the schools of their choice. Give educational justice to all. Learn more
The Atlantic Coast Pipeline uses eminent domain for its construction, so I oppose it. If the law allows people to trespass on land, then the law must be changed. I do not care how much of a “vitally important infrastructure project” this is, you may not use the government to take property from others for private use. This is not residential distribution of natural gas, so it is not a public use. Learn more
Eminent domain should NEVER be used to take property from anybody other than for public use, and then only after compensation of one and a half times the value of the property and the costs to move. Learn more
I will propose “constitutional carry” legislation. While still issuing concealed licenses for reciprocity, concealed carry should be allowed without a permit in the commonwealth. Learn more
I will propose legislation that will repeal the need for a Certificate of Public Need. Learn more
I will also propose legislation that would allow doctors to prescribe anything for their patients. By expressly allowing any drug or medication to be prescribed in the state of Virginia, it will be possible for experimental medication to be given in the state as long as it does not cross state lines. This could put the Commonwealth of Virginia at the forefront of medical research. Learn more
I would like to reduce income taxes by using externality taxes. One of the most commonly proposed externality tax is a carbon tax. It is easiest to apply at the well head, as well as when it is imported. The tax should be set to increase over a known amount over time to allow the industry time to adjust. This should also replace other pollution regulations. Learn more
