Why should voters elect you?
"I have a positive vision of honest reform to expand opportunity for all Virginians."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"As a first-generation college student, I understand the value and importance of a quality education in order to compete and succeed in life. Ensuring that our children receive the best education possible no matter where they live or their economic situation will be my priority as governor. That's why I have put forward my '3 R's' plan to recruit, reward and retain the nation's best teachers because better teachers mean our children get a better education. My plan will provide additional funding for school construction and infrastructure so that our students have access to state-of-the-art classrooms and educational technology."
