EDUCATION

Strongly Agree
I will be introducing Education Savings Account legislation that Lt. Governor Winsome Sears championed last year. Virginia families need more educational choices for their children.

As Sears says, "Education is the great equalizer", and all children should be able to reach their full potential.

EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No one should be instructed to feel as if they are not equal or shamed because of their race. We should not seek to divide Americans, rather than unite them. I do not believe racism is a threat to domestic security in the US in 2023, every person is created equal and entitled to their dignity as an individual. . All Americans are afforded equal opportunities to find success and fulfillment.
