I believe in a woman’s right to choose. Decisions about pregnancy should be made by the mother in consultation with her medical providers, not by the government. I support access to safe and legal abortion, up to the point of viability, with appropriate exceptions after that for the mother’s health or life.

Disagree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, provide needed reproductive services aside from abortions.

Agree

In terminal cases, I would support a person's right to die with dignity on their own terms.

Disagree

Business owners should have the right to decide who they do business with, unless doing so involves blatant discrimination against a protected class. They should not be forced to provide services that go against their sincerely held moral or religious beliefs. We need to protect both individual freedoms and ensure fairness under the law.

The government should not have the authority to close churches except in the most extreme, narrowly defined emergencies such as an immediate and serious threat to public safety. Even then, any action must be temporary and clearly justified, and never single out religious institutions.

The United States should strengthen alliances and partnerships around the world to share intelligence, coordinate counterterrorism efforts, and promote stability in regions vulnerable to extremist influence. Through diplomacy and support for economic development, we can help address the root causes of terrorism and build lasting global security.

Agree

I support efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in the region that respects the rights and security of both Palestinians and Israelis. I believe in promoting human rights, ending occupation, and ensuring equality for all people. While I understand the goals of the BDS movement, I support dialogue and diplomatic solutions that encourage cooperation and peace rather than divisive measures.

Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with supplemental private healthcare options.

Mandates are only justified for serious public health risks and must allow exemptions for medical, religious, or personal beliefs. Public health is important, but personal freedom must also be respected.

Virginia’s tax code should support rural communities by encouraging investment in broadband, job creation, and agriculture. I support targeted tax relief for working families and small farms, and incentives for businesses that create good jobs in rural areas. We also need to make sure the wealthiest and large corporations pay their fair share so we can invest in infrastructure, education, and agricultural innovation that help rural Virginia grow.

We should review outdated or duplicative programs and focus spending on what works. Smart investments in broadband, infrastructure, and workforce development. These investments create jobs, expand the tax base, and strengthen our economy.

Neutral

While I support expanding access to affordable higher education, I also believe we should put strong emphasis on trade schools and apprenticeships. These programs provide valuable career pathways and help meet workforce needs across Virginia.

Agree

The United States should welcome immigrants who contribute to our society, economy, and communities, whether they come seeking safety from persecution, better opportunities, or to reunite with family. Immigration policies should be fair, humane, and secure, prioritizing those fleeing violence or hardship while maintaining strong borders and proper legal processes.

Neutral

I support strong public schools and the right of families to choose the best educational path for their children. However, I do not believe taxpayer funds, whether through vouchers or tax credits, should be used to subsidize private schools, charter schools or homeschooling. Public money should stay in public education.

Neutral

Qualified immunity is intended to protect police officers when performing their duties in good faith. However, it’s important to ensure this protection isn’t used to shield misconduct. I support carefully considered reforms that maintain officer protections while promoting accountability and public trust.

Agree

I support redirecting some funds from police departments to mental health and community programs, as many crimes are linked to untreated mental health issues. Investing in these services can reduce crime, improve public safety, and provide better support for those in crisis.

To protect public safety, I support reasonable restrictions such as universal background checks, closing loopholes in private sales, and preventing access to firearms by those with a history of violence or severe mental illness. These measures help keep guns out of the wrong hands while respecting responsible ownership.

Strongly Disagree

The general purpose of government is to protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens, provide essential services, ensure public safety, and promote opportunities for all to succeed. Government should work to create a fair and just society where everyone’s voice is heard and basic needs are met.

Moderate

No.

I am committed to uniting our District by bridging political divides and focusing on policies that protect and uplift all citizens, without regard to wealth, race, or political party. My campaign prioritizes fundamental human rights, social justice, strong mental health advocacy, education, affordable and sufficient housing and healthcare, the well-being of children, veterans and seniors, and the protection of both parental and reproductive rights. I will support all legislation that brings relief and support to our farmers and I will support all efforts to bring sustainable jobs to our district. By prioritizing common ground and practical solutions, we can build a future that respects both individual freedoms and collective responsibilities, which will unite our District.

Neutral

I believe in the separation of church and state as a core American principle that protects both religious freedom and democratic governance. While Judeo-Christian values have influenced our country’s moral traditions, our government must remain neutral on religion to ensure equal rights and freedoms for all, regardless of belief.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Disagree

I believe that when two consenting adults want to marry, they should have the legal right to do so, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Marriage is a personal freedom, and the government should treat all couples equally under the law.

I believe in treating others with dignity, compassion, and fairness. My values are rooted in respect for all people, a commitment to justice, and the belief that we all have a responsibility to improve our communities. I support the freedom of every individual to follow their own spiritual path.

Disagree

I support strengthening voting access through automatic voter registration, expanded early voting, and same-day registration. I also support restoring voting rights to individuals who have completed their sentences. We should continue to oppose unnecessary barriers.

Agree

I agree that systemic racism has played a role in shaping many of our institutions, and we must be honest about that history to move forward. Critical Race Theory is one academic framework used to examine how laws and systems have perpetuated inequality. Understanding these patterns can help us build a more just and inclusive society.

Yes, racism is a serious threat to domestic security. It drives hate crimes and violence that put communities at risk. Combating racism is essential to protecting all Americans and ensuring safety and unity across the country.

Disagree

I believe addressing the lasting impacts of racial injustice is important, but reparations based solely on race can be complex and divisive. Instead, I support policies that focus on expanding economic opportunity, improving education, and reducing disparities for all disadvantaged communities.

Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.

Neutral

I recognize that hydraulic fracking has helped meet our energy demands and supported jobs, but it also poses significant environmental risks. We need strong regulations to protect communities and the environment, while investing in clean, renewable energy to build a sustainable future.
