Law and Order
Christopher’s dad was a state trooper who nearly lost his life on several occasions while on duty serving his state, so he intimately understands the dangers our law enforcement officers and their families face daily. IN order for families to live in a safe and secure Commonwealth, our law enforcement must be fully funded and enabled to do their jobs according to the laws as written. Current Democrat majority in Richmond have been soft on crime, encouraged illegal migration and mass refugee resettlement from terror prone countries, and supported the sealing of records of murderers and other convicted felons. This soft on crime approach has led to higher homicide rates, and car theft in our neighborhoods. I support strong enforcement of our laws for the benefit of our citizens, not the criminals.
Economic Growth and Prosperity
Our economy has seen four years of high inflation, high gas prices, high food prices, and a crisis of affordable housing in our district. This is due mostly to the policies of my opponent and her colleagues in Richmond, raising taxes on fuel and diesel over four times, taxing low-income families at the same rate as higher income citizens, and added more regulations that stifle innovation and the market. As such, has made life hard for all of us. Virginia’s economy flourishes with politicians and their government steer clear and allow the free market to work unhindered. As your delegate, Christopher will slash red tape, work to lower taxes to enable businesses to operate freely, and resort our economy to the strength and prosperity we all desire and can achieve.
Merit Based Education
Too many politicians in Richmond, including my opponent are focused on anything but merit-based policies in education. As a result, high performing students are not given the opportunities for which they have worked for. Whether it be Governor’s Schools, Universities, or local public schools, merit-based education should be the policy of Virginia. Also, too often our educational institutions have become so fixated on technology that they are failing to teach students practical skills in math, reading, and writing. Practical education must be the priority of our elementary schools to ensure that students are set up for success with the basics for life and family management, while gearing up for higher education or the trades. I pledge to ensure that all Virginia schools have the policies and the resources they need for our students to succeed in the real world.
Preservation of Constitutional Rights
Whether advancing technological innovation, bringing in data centers, or other economic and engineering opportunities, our constitutional rights must always be the foundational fixation of government for preservation. This includes privacy rights, civil rights, property rights, as well as the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, must never be infringed by government. Too many in Richmond are seeking to “balance” political opportunities against our rights. This is wrong and must never be. I will never put our rights in jeopardy in the name of any type of progress. Progress can happen in conjunction with the preservation of our constitutional rights.
