|
Taxes
Emily has pledged to keep taxes low and work towards meaningful and effective tax reform in the Commonwealth. Virginia has an outdated tax code that has caused us to continual fail those that invest their hard earned dollars in our economy. Recently, a business in the district closed after over 100 years in business. We cannot ignore how burdensome excessive taxation has injured the small business climate.
Life
A lot of times we, as Republicans, talk about being pro-life, but don’t offer real solutions. Being pro-life doesn’t end at Day 1 and, as Republicans, we need to work towards making sure we address real-life issues with common sense solutions. In Richmond, Emily will work on reforming the adoption and foster care system by streamlining the process and making it easier for families to provide children with a loving home.
Guns/2nd Amendment
As an NRA and VCDL member, Emily has always been a staunch defender of our right to bear arms, and she will continue to fight for our gun rights in Richmond. Emily will introduce legislation to allow victims of domestic violence and women with valid protective orders to carry a concealed handgun. Emily will stand up to the liberal, gun grabbing Democrats running the Governor's mansion.
Agriculture
Agriculture has always been the staple of our region. In Richmond, Emily will work to create the best possible environment for agri-business by cutting unnecessary regulations that are harming small farms and allow them to compete in today's economy.
Education
While serving on the Paul D. Camp Community College Foundation Board, Emily has seen the need to make vocational, trade, and career and technical education opportunities more available. In the General Assembly, she will work to bring these same educational opportunities to K-12 schools. Not everyone is meant to go to college and that’s okay, but we need to make sure students know there are other high-paying, well-respected opportunities for them after K-12.

Scorecards
- See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Virginia
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
