"My extensive experience in state and local government, my knowledge of state issues and my involvement in community activities make me highly qualified for reelection."
"Education is the top issue for my constituents. State standards and funding affect nearly every aspect of educational concern: early childhood education; achieving the Standards of Learning; English for speakers of other languages; the accessibility and affordability of Virginia colleges and universities; the issue of out-of-state students; workforce development and training; and opportunities for lifelong learning. I believe that educational opportunity is fundamental to our success in Virginia. I serve on the Senate Education and Health Committee and will work to preserve and enhance the quality of education throughout the commonwealth."
