I support all of these amendments. Getting your rights restored is automatic in most states. Folks who have completed their punishment and are now working to be productive members of their community should have their rights restored.
I believe that women should be able to make their own determinations about their healthcare, in consultation with their medical provider and anyone else THEY choose. This is not a place for the heavy hand of government.
Love is love and all Americans should have the right to marry. Virginia should be ashamed to impose on that right between two consenting adults.
We all know that a critical factor in that decision for all of us when we consider moving is the quality of the schools. We
need good schools everywhere to attract good employees and good paying jobs.
Moreover, all of our children deserve top notch public schools with up to date technology and qualified teachers and support staff so they can graduate ready for a good job or higher education to succeed in our competitive world. To achieve this, we need to fully fund all our schools everywhere in Virginia.
Strengthening our economy, creating jobs, and taming inflation.
Making sure we have strong public schools in urban, suburban and rural areas, Affordable, accessible healthcare for all, including reproductive care. Protecting our environment and improving our roads.
Our voting system and our registrars are overwhelmed. While we definitely want to encourage every eligible voter to vote, we want to ensure we have the infrastructure from sufficient precincts and voting machines to sufficient and well-trained personnel to run our voting system. I know how hard elections
officials work and we need to make sure we are providing the support they need. We need to consider doing what’s necessary to reduce lines – more voting machines, and/or more precincts.

I will vote in favor of all three amendments.
We must protect the right to same-sex marriage in Virginia. It is not certain that the Supreme Court will uphold Obergefell, and we have to make sure existing unions continue to remain legal. Most importantly, the government should have no say in who someone can love.
Women and childbearing persons must have sole jurisdiction over their own bodies. Only they and their doctor know what is best for their life. We must enshrine access not only for Virginians, but for people in neighboring states who come here to seek care.
I support the restoration of civil rights of felons upon release because they are as much a part of this state as anyone else.
Short term: staffing ratios must be addressed. We need innovative approaches to recruit new teachers and retain experienced ones. We need formulating plans to offer the benefits and compensation packages that those shaping the Commonwealth's future generations rightfully deserve. That is the only way we will be able to meet that need.
The current formula also doesn't properly account for spending on higher-need students, advanced student opportunities, Career Technical Education, or the arts. Smaller divisions in my district also face funding shortfalls and spend more per student on the current formula and would need the formula to have an economies of scale adjustment.
As a teacher, education will be a top priority. Our schools face a significant challenge stemming from the decline of resources. We suffer from a Resource Pool insufficient to fund critical Career Technical Education and Title 1 programs, maintain their facilities, and fairly compensate all those involved in education.
Next, will be rural economic growth. We must introduce legislation aimed at safeguarding the natural resources of rural communities, promoting sustainable development that balances economic growth with environmental stewardship, and advancing the adoption of renewable energy and other eco-friendly initiatives.
Lastly, we must protect those on the margins whose rights and safety nets are being eroded away.
Education. Despite having elections each year, many voters are unaware of this and how consequential each election is. Primaries also cause confusion for an average voter. A lot of folks know to just "vote for the Democrat" but get confused when candidates of the same party are running against each other. We must get voters to understand that they have a choice, and that their June votes are important. Finally, we need to do a better job at informing the public about early voting. Despite it being around for a few years, many voters are unaware of the logistics behind voting.
