| Collapse all
I believe in a better tomorrow, where jobs pay well, schools have kids that are thriving, we put people over politics, and we have a government that works for All Americans.
I want Virginia to be united in a better tomorrow, and I know how to do it.
I’ve worked with lawmakers and policy experts to pass legislation that protects our veterans, enhances our military, and supports our Gold Star Families.
As your Senator, Your priorities will always be my priorities.
Let’s raise a Virginia that’s built for 2024 and beyond.
I’m asking for your support to build a better tomorrow for all Americans.
- I believe by working together, we can rebuild trust in our institutions, we can help individuals and families thrive, and make the American dream more attainable and more affordable for every man, woman and child in the Commonwealth.
- I am committed to rebuilding a strong economy, lowing inflation, ensuring parental rights, protecting our most vulnerable, and doing all of this together, in a spirit of unity and respect.
- It’s time for Virginia to have new leadership in the United States Senate, one that is rooted in the values of freedom, faith, family, and putting people over politics.
Veterans:
Veterans are truly the 1 percent.
These are the men and women who volunteer to put their lives on the line for the whole nation and they deserve our admiration and our respect.
They also deserve the care and the basic necessities that they were promised.
I have been an advocate for veterans across the commonwealth from the moment I left the Army.
As your senator, I will never play political games with our veterans, their families or their rightful benefits.
To all the veterans,
I will stand for you, always, because you’ve always stood for us.
Constitutional Rights For All:
The Rights enshrined in our Constitution are non-negotiable.
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble and petition our government apply to everyone regardless of race, creed, gender or ethnicity.
The Right to bear arms, the Right to privacy, the Right to due process, the Right to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and the Right to vote apply to everyone regardless of race, creed, gender or ethnicity.
These Rights and many more in our constitution are granted by God, not government and they are under constant attack by those who would silence their opposition.
I will work every single day to ensure that Rights bestowed on all citizens remain for all citizens.
Community Family Values
A strong, vibrant community is vital to fabric of our country.
