Education

Maintaining Loudoun and Prince William counties’ strong education systems is Bill’s top priority. We must focus on education, not indoctrination. This past legislative session, the General Assembly provided Virginians a tax return and passed a budget with a 5% wage increase for teachers. The safety of our students and teachers is also essential. Bill will partner with law enforcement and school officials to hire retired police and military veterans as school resource officers. Every public school in Loudoun and Prince William should have dedicated and trained security personnel so that our children can thrive in a safe school environment.

Economic Prosperity

America’s economic success is founded on ingenuity and innovation – the qualities that have powered District 87’s thriving economy. Bill will oppose government regulations that hinder the entrepreneurial spirit. We need to foster and maintain a business climate attractive to enterprises large and small. We must not adopt government-mandated minimum wage and other wasteful “progressive’ experiments to chock our economic future. History has repeatedly shown the negative outcomes of these unrealistic and unsustainable programs.

Taxes and Spending

The state budget continuously grows due to ever-expanding government programs. Bill will work to cut taxes by eliminating wasteful spending. We must promote transparency within all state programs to ensure that taxpayers are getting their money’s worth. A tax environment that fosters innovation will allow District 87 to continue to be a place where residents are proud to live, work, and raise a family.

Veteran Affairs

As an Air Force pilot, combat veteran and former presidential military aide, Bill understands the importance of supporting the nearly 800,000 veterans who call Virginia home. It is our responsibility to ease their return home from battle. On average, 22 U.S. veterans commit suicide a day. This is a national emergency. Increasing veteran access to academic scholarships and vocational training will provide Virginia’s veterans with the skills to succeed in civilian life. It is time for Virginia to honor those who have fought for our freedom. Veterans have kept their end of the bargain — we must keep ours.

Transportation

Easing traffic congestion is fundamental to the success of District 87 and all of Northern Virginia. Taxpayers funded the construction of area toll roads — they should not be gouged with punishing tolls to use those same roads. $47 for a one-way trip on I-66 just to get to work is — literally — highway robbery. Bill will work with officials at the local and state levels to ease the area’s traffic trauma.

Sanctity of Life

Richmond recently became the focus of nationwide condemnation for proposed legislation that would have eliminated restrictions on third-trimester abortions and legalized infanticide – also known as “post-birth abortions.” Unlike some of our elected leaders, Bill understands that life begins at conception. He will be a strong voice for a society that cherishes and protects the most vulnerable among us.

2nd Amendment

Bill opposes red-flag laws that are designed to strip citizens of their unalienable rights. The right to keep and bear arms is foundational to the Constitution and to uphold liberty under law. Bill is committed to protecting the 2nd Amendment while also curtailing the unlawful use or purchase of weapons. As your next Delegate, Bill will uphold your constitutional rights and insist that judicial nominees are committed to doing the same.
