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. Please identify the top three critical issues facing your state, and how do you envision solving them to benefit the communities in your state? | My three top campaign issues are as follows: 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. |
3. Would you support or oppose implementing specific policies to promote fiscal responsibility and reduce government spending at the state level, while also addressing debt and ensuring a sustainable economic future for your state? | Support |
4. Do you support or oppose the belief that the pandemic’s negative impact on medical freedom, which emphasized the importance of safeguarding individual liberties, as well as its negative economic consequences on the people, calls for crucial lessons learned and need for both federal and state governments to avoid overregulation and overreach on small businesses while effectively preparing to handle future challenges? | Support |
5. In the context of the Bill of Rights, do you support or oppose safeguarding and upholding individual liberties, such as the right to bear arms and freedom of speech, when confronted with potential challenges? | Support |
6. Considering the ongoing debates on the environment, would you support or oppose balancing economic growth and environmental protection in your approach to environmental policies? | Oppose |
7. Do you support and advocate for religious freedom as a fundamental right for all citizens in our nation? | Yes |
8. Given the issues concerning open borders, border security, and drugs (like fentanyl), do you endorse the classification of Mexican cartels as a terrorist organization and recognize them as a significant national security threat to the United States? | Yes |
9. Do you believe the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are important and necessary? | No |
10. Would you support or oppose the implementation of policies to expand school choice options, such as charter schools, vouchers, or education savings accounts, to empower parents to make the best educational decisions for their children? | Support |
11. Would you support or oppose passing laws to make it illegal to transition children medically or chemically under 18 years of age? | Support |
12. Would you support or oppose passing laws to restrict the education of students from K-12 on gender identity, homosexuality, and sexual conduct, and instead, adhere strictly to biology, science, and biological nature? | Support |
13. Would you support or oppose implementing classical liberal arts education standards in K-12? | Support |
14. Do you believe that parental rights are fundamental and hold the highest authority, and would you support prioritizing and protecting these rights in education? This includes acknowledging parents’ fundamental role in teaching, raising, and nurturing their children. Please indicate whether you support or oppose this approach. | Support |
15. If elected, would you support and implement the bill introduced by Moms for America Action that endorses the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Standard in schools, prohibiting obscene, indecent, and profane content, similar to the regulations for radio and TV broadcasts? | Yes |
