Why should voters elect you?
"I have the values, the experience and the vision to keep us safe and secure and lead Virginia forward as the next attorney general."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The most important job of the next attorney general will be to keep Virginia safe and secure. My experience as a prosecutor and legislator has taught me that you can't be tough on crime and cheap on crime. That's why I was proud to work with Gov. Warner and a bipartisan coalition in the General Assembly to make necessary investments in public safety. But there's more work to do. As attorney general, I will continue the progress we've achieved under Gov. Warner to make Virginia an even safer, more secure place to call home."
