What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Virginians are looking for a visionary attorney general with a proven 'Plan to Keep Virginia Safe and Productive.' My four-part crime plan calls for: (1) adding 100 new state troopers to fight crime where it lives and breeds, (2) reforming the lenient criminal sentencing and probation violation guidelines, (3) expanding drug courts statewide and (4) championing faith-based drug initiatives in jails. In order to keep Virginia productive, I've outlined my 'Marshall Plan' for transportation: a long-term, comprehensive solution to Virginia's transportation problem. Transportation is a top priority and should be treated as such."
Why should voters elect you?
"I'm running to be 'the people's lawyer,' not just another professional politician. I believe there's still a place for honesty, integrity and straight talk."
