My family and I are parishioners at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Woodbridge. I am a very spiritual person and my Christian faith guides my life and decisions.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I have received national recognition for implementing the nation’s toughest crackdown on illegal immigration, resulting in the County turning over more than 7500 criminal illegal aliens to the Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). This led to a 48.7 % drop in violent crime. I made it a priority to reform the business and permitting process. These measures have resulted in the time it takes to start a business being reduced by half. I was first elected Chairman during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. $143 million in spending had to be cut from the county budget, producing the largest tax cut in the history of Prince William County. I recently eliminated all fees associated with obtaining a concealed carry permit. The average tax bills remain the lowest in Northern Virginia, 30% below neighboring counties. I led the way in establishing a zero-based budget, forcing departments to cut spending by 5/10/15%.

Additional comment from candidate:

I am running for Governor to take back Virginia from the liberal establishment and political elites in Richmond. This year we continue the grassroots movement that took back the White House. I will work to bring jobs back to the Commonwealth and create a better business climate - especially for those struggling rural regions that need it the most. I will stand with our Law Enforcement, Veterans, and blue collar workers. And I’ll never back down from conservative principles of fighting illegal immigration, defending the Second Amendment, and protecting life. I am not afraid to take on controversial conservative issues even when other Republicans run away. I have run and won countywide for Chairman in Prince William County 4 times. The county has a population of 454,000 and is 54% minority. No other Republican has been able to do so since 2009.
