Protecting our environment
I was proud to Patron and lead the fight to pass the historic Virginia Clean Economy Act, which made Virginia the first southern state to chart a course to reduce carbon emissions to zero.

As a parent with children who attended our public schools and a son who attended Virginia Tech, this is an issue particularly important to me. I introduced and passed Virginia’s “Red Flag Law,” which gives law enforcement the tools they need to remove firearms from someone deemed by a judge to be a serious risk to himself or others.
