From my time serving on the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Board to my work with the Chesapeake NAACP to my advocacy for public school students, I know what it takes to win and make a difference for our district in Richmond. I am not running to be a back-bench rubber stamp to our party policy; I am running to draft and sponsor legislation that helps you!
Protect Our Families
The foundation of a strong family is a strong economy that works for everyone. Record inflation, corporate greed, and stagnant wages have put our families at risk while Virginia has stood idly by. As a blue-collar worker who grew up living paycheck to paycheck, I understand that the problems in our economy have been hurting our families for decades. In Richmond, I am committed to growing our economy with a focus on our families.
Defend Our Veterans
Hampton Roads has one of the largest populations of veterans in our nation. Why? Because Virginia has invested in creating an economy that works for our veterans and their families. But that is now at risk. As the child of a Navy veteran, I will fight against any attempts to roll back benefits for our veterans and their families – including the preservation of VMSDEP.
Support Our Farmers
Farming is a core aspect of both Suffolk & Chesapeake’s identity. Yet the inability of our government to provide viable pathways to protect our farmers and bring in the next generation of farmers has resulted in the loss of farmland. As a leader in the fight against excessive development, I am committed to enacting policies at the state level to ensure our farmers are supported.
