Economic
Development
"We need quality jobs right here in Central Virginia. I've gotten
funding for workforce training to give our folks the tools they need and
I'm focusing on helping to bring new industry to Campbell and Bedford
counties. In addition, we must make sure our small businesses are free
from government red tape."
Education
"Our children
deserve safe schools that focus on fundamentals like
reading, math and science. In addition, I support accountability
for schools to ensure no child gets left behind."
Health
Care
"Our Seniors deserve quality and affordable health care that does
not destroy their personal budgets. Patients and their doctors, not
bureaucratic bean-counters, should make treatment decisions."
Public
Safety
"I've worked hard to crack down on crime - especially crime against
our children. I successfully sponsored legislation increasing
penalties for those who sexually abuse children and for those who stalk
them on the Internet. We must strengthen public safety in our
communities so we can deal with the new threats that face our citizens."
Taxes
"Despite all of the rhetoric from tax-and-spend liberals who constantly want to increase state spending, the Commonwealth of Virginia continues to enjoy budget surpluses alongside private economic prosperity. We don't need tax increases in order to fund important government functions like education, public safety and transportation. I will continue to support funding vital services while working to keep taxes low."
Traditional
Values
"I've stood up to the liberals and defended our traditional values.
From sponsoring legislation cracking down on child pornographers to
supporting bills protecting
human life and a moment of silence in our schools, I have fought for
our values of faith in God, personal integrity and stronger
families."
