| 1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | In 2020, I witnessed excessive government overreach, which trampled our Medicial freedom, and a cultural revolution, after the death of George Floyd, occur in America. I did not like the direction that our nation was taking with the mask and vaccine mandates, the teaching of CriticalRace Theory in our schools and the removal of our historical monuments so I ran for the Virginia House of Delegates, in the former 57th district from 2020 to 2021. While I did not win, I got about 7,000 voters who supported my conservative stances. In 2022, I launched my Virginia Senate campaign to remove CRT and pornographic books from our schools, to defend our sacred Second Amendment rights, to mandate School Resource Officers in every public school in Virginia, to fight for our Medicial freedom, to pass a school choice bill, to pass term limits, to lower our taxes and much more! |
| 2. Can you share the three most important issues facing your district/state, and how do you envision working collaboratively to find solutions that benefit everyone? | The three top issues are Passing a law mandating school resource offices in every public school in Virginia. In Albemarle County all School Resource Officers were removed in 2019, leaving our children unprotected from school shooters. In 2023, a single School Resource Officer was placed at the Albemarle High School. The mandate I propose is to pull the power out of the defund the police movement. Lowering taxes for all Virginians. Currently we have a 3.6 Billion dollar surplus and we have a duty to give some of that money back to “We The People”. Passing a law treating the distribution of fentanyl as a homicide. This will save lives and discourage drug dealers from lacing products with this very lethal drug. |
