"As a fiscally conservative social moderate with 16 years volunteer service and 12 years elected experience, I offer voters proven leadership, accomplishments and clout."
"Virginians need to decide what kind of state we want. Will we settle for mediocrity or will we invest in our people and infrastructure to assure a first-rate quality of life? Recently we cut $6 billion from our budget, eliminated 4,900 state jobs and streamlined government. My technology reform legislation will save Virginia $100 million annually. Now we must determine whether we will adequately fund public and higher education as well as daunting transportation and security needs. As the only woman ever to serve on the Senate Finance Committee, I always forcefully advance our region's agenda."
