Why should voters elect you?
"I'm a social and fiscal conservative who won't back down from a fight. I am pro-life, anti-tax, and brought $200 million in Route 28 improvements."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The biggest issue facing the 32nd District is improving transportation. Virginia has an enormous surplus that should be applied to transportation. Expanding Route 7 and completing improvements on Route 28 are top priorities. I successfully passed five bills that secured $200 million to improve Route 28. As a senior member of the Transportation Committee, I have secured funding for improvements to Route 7, Route 28 and Route 15. The key to transportation is focusing surplus revenue on highways."
