In only three short weeks Virginia voters will go to the polls and select State Senators and Delegates. This is an especially critical election.
House: 67 Republicans vs. 33 Democrats
Senate: 21 Republicans vs. 19 Democrats
Republicans are in the majority in both bodies; a flip of 1 seat in the Senate makes a tie which is broken by the Lt. Gov., Northam (D), giving the Dems effective, if only narrow, control. A Senate majority is achievable this cycle for the Dems; a house majority may take 3 or more cycles.
But we must fight for every seat we can in each cycle.
I am running to bring the focus of the General Assembly back to the right priorities to create more jobs and move us forward. As a small businesswoman, I know how to balance a budget and prioritize spending decisions. Richmond politicians need to make jobs the first priority and stop wasting time opposing abortion and refusing common sense gun laws. Using my business background, I will work with Republicans and Democrats to pass a balanced budget that keeps taxes low, while still building excellent schools and creating jobs. We need a no-nonsense approach in Richmond.
