Races we watched

Ballotpedia identified 13 races to watch in the Virginia House of Delegates 2017 elections: four Democratic seats and nine Republican seats. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.

This district was a Race to Watch because the incumbent won less than 55 percent of the vote in 2015 and did not file to run in 2017. Moreover, the presidential candidate of the opposite party won the district in 2016 by more than 20 points. Incumbent Mark Dudenhefer (R) was first elected in 2011, but was defeated by Democrat Michael Futrell in 2013. Dudenhefer won the seat back in 2015 by 1.1 points and opted not to run for re-election in 2017. District 2 was one of 51 Virginia House districts that Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton carried District 2 by 20.4 points. Democrat Barack Obama won District 2 in the 2012 presidential election by 19.2 points. As of 2017, District 2 covered parts of Prince William County and parts of Stafford County. In August 2017, Republican primary winner Laquan Austion dropped out of the general election after it was reported that he had falsified his education credentials. He was replaced by Mike Makee.^[5]

Campaign website

Carroll Foy's campaign website stated the following:

“

The challenges we face as Virginians are far too great to confront alone. It’s time to leave the divisiveness and partisan warfare that has poisoned our politics well in the past. This moment calls for us to come together as a Commonwealth and have everyone’s voice at the table to find the solutions that will bring us forward.

I first learned this at VMI, where I shed blood, sweat, and tears side by side with cadets who largely didn’t look like me or think like me to meet our shared goals. When all was said and done, each one of us came out the other end better for it. It’s what pushed me to seek bipartisan solutions in the House of Delegates, because the need for action is far more important than politics-as-usual. As a Delegate, I am proud to have worked with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to secure real wins for Virginians, from passing legislation giving veteran small-business owners access to the resources they need to expanding access to rural broadband.

When we come to the table with an open ear, look past the “D” or the “R” by our names, and work together, we can create real solutions that help all Virginians. This same idea is what drives my campaign today. We’re reaching out to everyone and anyone who will speak with us, and we’re not just talking. We’re listening. We’re listening to the solutions that will bring us into the future and away from the broken status quo. We’re listening to the voices of Virginians, no matter who they vote for, to build a strong coalition that can get things done in Richmond. The work to build our future doesn’t start when the next Governor is sworn in; it starts now, on the campaign trail, as we build our movement.

No matter who you are everyone wants and deserves a clean environment, strong public schools, access to quality affordable healthcare, an ethical and transparent government, safe communities, and opportunities for a better life. My job as Governor will be to uphold the responsibility of fighting for every Virginian — regardless of political party — the best I can.

Where I Stand

Labor & Working Families

Here’s the Problem

The feeling of living paycheck to paycheck is one I know well. Growing up in Petersburg, we scraped to get by. We worked hard day after day, budgeting every penny we earned. Members of my family still make the minimum wage, and I know how difficult it is for them to survive on what’s in their bank account.

My story isn’t unique. Virginia’s working families aren’t getting a fair shake. Our commonwealth is ranked as the worst state in the country for workers. The issues we’ve always faced have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Working families deserve a living wage, benefits, and a voice.

My Plans as Governor

As Governor, I will elevate workers’ voices and make Virginia a pro-worker model for the nation. I’ll make the Commonwealth the best place in the nation to do business and raise a family. We know that the opportunity to join a union — no matter where you work — is the best way to raise wages, improve working conditions, create family-sustaining jobs, and create an economy that works for everyone. To that end, I’ll make sure Virginians are able to organize easily, so we can protect their rights.

My Record & Experience

I’m never shy about standing with working families. I’ve stood on the picket line with bus drivers on strike and fought alongside our airport workers for the rights they deserve. I petitioned party leadership when the coronavirus pandemic first started, advocating for paid sick leave, hazard pay for grocery workers, and a mask-mandate on public transportation to keep bus drivers and riders safe.

As a Delegate, I:

Passed groundbreaking legislation instituting a prevailing wage on all state-funded construction projects.
Co-sponsored legislation repealing the “Comstock Rule” that banned the use of Project Labor Agreements and helped thousands of construction workers get quality health coverage.
Sponsored legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Passed a bill that cracks down on companies that don’t pay their workers.
Sponsored legislation to ensure that firefighters who contracted cancer on the job were covered by workers’ compensation.

Jobs & the Economy

Here’s the Problem

The past year has been one of the most challenging in our commonwealth’s history. The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated our communities and our economy, throwing hundreds of thousands of us out of work, shutting the doors of thousands of businesses, separating our kids from their friends, and most tragically, causing dire health consequences for more than 500,000 Virginians who have fallen sick.

Alarmingly, our national response to this crisis has fallen well short of the measures needed to protect our families, keep small businesses afloat, and preserve jobs. And these challenges have not hit us all equally; while many of us have suffered, communities of color have too often borne the brunt of the pain. We must do better here in Virginia. I know how important this mission is because I’ve lived the everyday struggle of economic insecurity. I grew up in Petersburg, a town that was left behind, in a community fighting every day just to get by. And I continued to see that struggle later on as a public defender and a foster mom.

My Plans as Governor

I will help Virginia’s economy get back on its feet during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. My plan centers on providing relief to the hundreds of thousands of Virginians who lost work during the pandemic, as well as small businesses traditionally left behind in favor of massive corporations and special interests. Unlike policy platforms released by politicians of the past, my plan rejects the false choice that an economic plan of this kind must be either pro-business or pro-worker: mine is both.

As Governor, I will:

Fix Virginia’s broken unemployment insurance system
- Improve administrative issues within the VEC to expedite arrival of needed benefits.
- Implement automatic increases in funding for the VEC within a certain threshold.
- Bring Virginia’s weekly maximum unemployment rate up to meet the regional average.
Protect and promote small businesses, the heart of Virginia’s economy
- Strengthen small business access to capital by allocating $4 million per year to an expanded Angel Investor Tax credit program.
- Ensure small businesses have the PPE to reopen safely and confidently through targeted tax credits on PPE purchases.
- Provide small businesses with the resources they need to grow.
- Support small, women-owned, and minority-owned (SWaM) businesses.
- Promote programs aimed at diversifying Virginia’s economy.
- Create a Microloans for Veterans Program (MVP).
Build a world-class workforce
- Invest in training the next generation of high-tech workers from diverse backgrounds.
- Grow the field of professionals working with alternative energy resources.
- Bolster public awareness of union apprenticeship programs in the skilled trades.
Build an infrastructure for businesses that supply family-sustaining jobs to prosper
- Expedite economic development projects.
- Expand access to the internet.
- Promote opportunities in rural and Southwest Virginia.
- Market Virginia to attract new business in the United States and abroad.
- Crack down on worker misclassification.

My Record & Experience

My lifelong experience has driven my determination to get results for Virginians, and I have been proud to fight for Virginia jobs as a Delegate. I’ve always fought to make the Commonwealth one of the best places in the nation to do business and raise a family. I supported and passed legislation that doesn’t just get our existing workforce what it needs to succeed, but also prepares the next generations of Virginians to drive our economy forward.

As a Delegate, I:

Fought to maximize job creation and give small businesses access to capital and resources they need to succeed.
Passed bipartisan legislation to give veterans greater access to the capital they need to start and grow a business.
Co-sponsored a bill that rewards companies for creating jobs in underserved communities.
Passed legislation to give small minority-owned businesses more opportunities to secure contracts with utilities.
Passed legislation to provide greater access to coding courses in high school, preparing our students for the 21st century economy.
Passed a bill allowing local school divisions to enter into College and Career Access Pathways Partnerships with community colleges.
Worked closely with Republicans to pass two career and technical education bills, and was named “Legislator of the Year” by the Virginia Association for Career and Technical Education. In fact, in 2018, I received an award from the Virginia Chamber of Commerce for my efforts to help workforce development.

Criminal Justice Reform

Here’s the Problem

The fight for social and criminal justice reform is very personal to me. As the first public defender ever elected to the General Assembly and as a former magistrate judge, I’ve witnessed the systemic flaws that define our criminal justice system. These flaws disproportionately impact Virginia’s most vulnerable communities. For years, I have advocated for those who could not advocate for themselves and for those who are left behind by our justice system.

I once represented a woman who only confessed to a crime because of a mental illness that made her want to be agreeable. Another time, I helped a young man, about to be branded a felon, who stole a jacket in a moment of desperation because he was freezing. The impact isn’t limited to the courthouse — these inequities set too many up for a lifetime of being left behind. We see the impact in our schools, in the jobs available to Virginians, in access to housing and healthcare, and so much more.

My Plans as Governor

As Governor, I’m ready to do even more to address the historic injustices in our criminal justice system. We must end mass incarceration, eliminate the school-to-prison pipeline, and diversify the judicial bench.

My Record & Experience

I began fighting for a fairer and more equitable criminal justice system as a magistrate judicial officer and later as a public defender. I have worked hard to address the two criminal justice systems in Virginia: one that degrades marginalized and poor communities and another that works well for everyone else. I ran for Delegate to fix our b roken criminal justice system and create a Virginia that treats all people equally.

As a Delegate, I:

Passed legislation to ban chokeholds, prohibiting a law-enforcement officer from using a neck restraint in the performance of official duties and provides for disciplinary sanctions on an officer who uses a neck restraint.
Sponsored legislation to raise the grand larceny threshold from one of the lowest in the country and address cash bail reform in the Commonwealth.
Passed legislation to repeal the Habitual Drunkard law, which unfairly punishes the homeless and those struggling with substance abuse.
Led the charge to create a much-needed public defender’s office in my district, which includes Prince William County.
Introduced legislation to legalize marijuana, which is key to putting an end to the mass incarceration of Black and Brown communities.
Created an initiative to recruit and train minority judge candidates so residents of our Commonwealth face qualified and thoughtful legal minds of various backgrounds.
Introduced legislation requiring school officials to handle minor disciplinary issues at school instead of referring students to the police.
Co-sponsored a bill to limit the maximum number of days of school suspension from 365 to 45. I also passed the Dress Code Equity Act, the first bill in the nation to codify protections in school dress codes against religious and ethnic discrimination.

Education

Here’s the Problem

In my first year at the Virginia Military Institute, I had tutors in almost every class because I was unprepared for college. Growing up in Petersburg, we didn’t have textbooks to take home, certified teachers in our classrooms, and counselors who kept up after us. And going to college I was an exception to the rule in Petersburg. The vast majority of my high school classmates didn’t graduate from high school or go to college. Many of the inequities we faced continue to persist today.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed the systemic inequities in education. In the transition to online learning, we witnessed significant disparities in technology and access to the internet among our most vulnerable learners.

My Plans as Governor

Education stands as one of the great equalizers in our society, and I am deeply committed to ensuring a quality education for all students. We must continue expanding and diversifying our teacher workforce, raise teacher salaries, address the teacher shortage, and invest in early childhood education.

As Governor, I will ensure that all Virginia students don’t just have a chance at success, but a likelihood of success. First, we must work to strengthen our public schools by preparing and supporting our teachers. I believe that if we get teachers the benefits and wages they deserve, and the tools they need to help our kids succeed, we will revitalize our classrooms. Second, we must prepare our students for the global economy and meet the growing demand by employers for skills to power a modern workforce. Third, having a diverse set of educators is vital to creating a compassionate student body and a stronger Commonwealth.

My Record & Experience

I know exactly what it’s like to go to a school that doesn’t have the resources to help every kid succeed. I ran for Delegate because every child deserves a quality education, and Virginia was not investing nearly enough in its teachers or students.

As a Delegate, I:

Proudly supported efforts to give teachers a five percent pay increase and passed legislation removing politically-motivated, anti-teacher tenure rules and was named a Legislative :*Champion by the Virginia Education Association in 2019 and 2020 as a result.
Passed legislation making it easier for students to take computer coding courses in high school.
Spearheaded efforts to help teachers secure credentials to teach computer coding.
Passed a bill allowing local school divisions to enter into College and Career Access Pathways Partnerships with community colleges. In recognition of this work, I was named 2020 :*Policymaker of the Year by the Virginia Association for Career and Technical Education.
Passed my Dress Code Equity Act, ensuring that all school dress codes promote a safe school environment that respects students’ religious and ethnic backgrounds.
Advocated for reducing the number of days a child can be suspended and ensuring that discipline infractions are dealt with in-school rather than in the courtroom.
Dedicated years to breaking the school to prison pipeline so that students of color spend less time in the courtroom and more time in the classroom.
Passed my Diversifying the Teacher Workforce Act, helping to eliminate unnecessary barriers to gaining a teacher certification that disproportionately hurt minority educators.
Supported bills to increase teacher mentorship programs and Grow Your Own recruitment efforts that recruit more teachers of color.
Sponsored legislation to prioritize school safety measures.
Put forward an amendment to the state budget to restore all K-12 direct aid funding initiatives that were abandoned during the coronavirus pandemic.

Environment

Here’s the Problem

As a mother and former foster parent, I believe that protecting our environment is one of the most important things we can do for the future of our children. Climate change is not a distant threat, but rather an immediate danger that is impacting the lives of all Virginians.

When I learned in 2017 that water in my district was being contaminated with lead and arsenic from a Dominion Energy plant, I vowed to lead the clean-up effort for my two boys, Xander and Alex, and my neighbors’ children. My legislation forced Dominion Energy to clean up the coal leaks in my district and others across the Commonwealth.

In Virginia, a changing climate has meant more frequent storms and flooding that wreak havoc on our Commonwealth, especially in the Hampton Roads region. Vulnerable communities, especially communities of color, are often hit hardest by environmental stressors that can have devastating effects on our health.

My Plans as Governor

As Governor, I will continue the fight to make sure all of our children inherit a clean, safe Commonwealth. I’ll invest in green energy production, bringing high paying jobs to the Commonwealth, protect funding for state parks, safeguard additional land for public use, and pass the Virginia Green New Deal.

My Record & Experience

I ran for Delegate because the government’s inaction on climate change was a threat to every single child in Virginia and because my community has been particularly impacted by the climate crisis. In my four years in office, I proposed legislation to protect our environment, our communities, and the health and safety of all Virginians.

As a Delegate, I:

Passed legislation to clean contaminated water ponds around the Commonwealth.
Helped secure funding to protect Widewater State Park.
Co-sponsored legislation to reward businesses and homeowners for investing in renewable energy.
Co-sponsored legislation to reward property owners who switch to renewable energy
Fought for the creation of new, green jobs on wind farms.
Because of my record of getting results, I am proud to have earned a 100% grade from the Virginia Sierra Club in 2020.

Health Care

Here’s the Problem

Every Virginian deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare. But for decades, prescription drugs and healthcare premiums have been out of reach. When I was young, my aunt and I had to cut my grandmother’s life-saving prescriptions in half because the cost was simply too high. When I was a public defender, I saw too many lives overtaken by drug addiction and mental health issues that went untreated. As a mom, I understand the importance of high-quality healthcare – it made the difference between life and death for me when I faced medical complications after delivering my twin boys.

Now, Virginia has some of the most expensive healthcare costs in the nation, and drug companies keep profiting while everyday Virginians struggle to make ends meet.

And the COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed the inequalities that are staring us in the face. Black and Brown communities are suffering higher rates of infection and mortality due to disparate access to information, testing, and treatment.

My Plans as Governor

I will address the systemic health care challenges Virginians face today, and well before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. My plan calls for investments in mobile health clinics to facilitate vaccine distribution, establishes a Prescription Drug Affordability Board to ensure transparent pricing so Virginians aren’t overpaying for critical medication, and further expands Medicaid coverage.

In addition, my plan will:

Reduce health insurance costs by building a Virginia Reinsurance Program that will lower premiums for hardworking families.
Ensure transparency in medical pricing so that Virginians know exactly what they’ll pay for the care they need and can make informed decisions.
Boost broadband coverage to bring telehealth visits to more Virginians.
Additional investments in rural healthcare so Virginians can access quality care in their own community.
Ensure Virginians of all backgrounds have equal access to health services by:
- Increasing funding for the Virginia Maternal Mortality Review Team.
- Allocating funding for doula care through Medicaid to drive down racial disparities in childbirth outcomes.
- Make Virginia medical schools more diverse by ensuring students of color have an equal shot at such a career path.
- Increasing access to culturally competent care.

My Record & Experience

No issue is more important to our Commonwealth than ensuring every single Virginian has affordable and equitable access to quality healthcare. I’ve seen firsthand the devastating impacts that come with a lack of access to affordable, accessible healthcare. I was proud to work in the legislature alongside Governor Northam to expand Medicaid to bring healthcare coverage to more than 500,000 more Virginians. And it’s why one of my top challenges as governor will be to make healthcare more affordable, more accessible, and more inclusive for Virginians.

As a Delegate, I:

Supported the expansion of Medicaid to 500,000 newly insured Virginians.
Advocated for a paid family and medical leave program in our Commonwealth.
Led efforts to eliminate the 40-quarter rule, an unnecessary barrier that denies some immigrant populations from accessing basic healthcare services.
Passed legislation to assess the feasibility of Medicaid reimbursement for doula care
Sponsored legislation to ensure that donated breast milk is covered by all private insurance.
Voted to ensure safer opioid dispensing practices and to provide immunity to those community members who courageously report overdoses and help citizens get the aid they need.
Sponsored legislation asking the Department of Social Services to better track opioid usage among parents to better understand and target solutions for the foster care system.
Led the call for comprehensive paid sick leave so our low-wage and frontline workers can get the care they need without fearing a loss of income.
Encouraged Governor Northam to expand Spanish-language access to COVID-19 information and contact tracing.

Supporting Immigrant Communities

Here’s the Problem

Immigrants are what make our Commonwealth great. In Prince William County, where my district is located, nearly 25% of the population are immigrants. Virginia’s immigrant families strengthen our communities, undergird our local economies, and bring incredible diversity and dynamism to our Commonwealth.

The ways we leave immigrant families behind are unconscionable. This is evident in the significant disparities in COVID-19 outcomes, with Latinx communities among the hardest hit. These disparities stem largely from longstanding systemic inequities such as lack of access to healthcare, inadequate housing, and jobs that don’t have paid medical leave or an option to stay home to stay safe during this pandemic.

My Plans as Governor

I’m excited to continue these efforts as Governor and will fight to enact policies to build a more equitable and better Virginia for all.

My Record & Experience

As a public defender, I saw how immigrants are treated unequally in the criminal justice system, and I ran for Delegate to be an advocate for immigrants.

As a Delegate, I:

Called on Governor Northam to ensure broader outreach to Latinx families during COVID-19.
Called for greater rent support for all Virginians, regardless of their immigration status.
Fought for increased funding for rent relief programs and representation for eviction proceeding cases.
Worked to pass the Virginia Dream Act, bringing higher education to all our Virginians regardless of their immigration status.
Supported legislation to make it possible for undocumented residents to acquire driver’s licenses.
Proposed a budget amendment to repeal outdated work restrictions that prevent many from accessing the healthcare that they need.

Clean Government & Ethics

Here’s the Problem

Every elected official faces a clear question and a choice: Who do you fight for?

In Richmond, the answer is far too often “special interests.” Government officials who fight for special interests suppress the voices of everyday Virginans. When we give the special interests a seat at the table, we kick the people out of the room.

Too many politicians in Richmond put special interests first — we see this time and time again with politicians going out of their way for Dominion Energy at the expense of working families. But it’s not just Dominion. We have seen cable companies kill measures to expand rural broadband and corporations spend millions of dollars to influence the political process.

My Plans as Governor

I will fight corruption in politics and elevate the voice of the people. For far too long, special interests like Dominion have dominated to buy elections and tune out the voices of everyday Virginia voters. My plan focuses on campaign finance reform and lobbying restrictions in order to strengthen democracy.

In addition, my plan will:

Ban political contributions from corporations. Under a Carroll Foy administration, Virginia will follow federal leadership and prohibit corporate donations.
Limit contributions by individuals, PACs, and party committees to candidate committees in Virginia to the federal limit, currently $2,800 per election.
Ban lobbyists, their immediate family members, and their employers from making political contributions to candidates.
Restrict legislators or state elected officials from lobbying for five years after leaving office.
Require candidates and officeholders to disclose the names and clients of any lobbyist who works on their political campaigns, paid or unpaid, or on transition teams for new officeholders.

My Record & Experience

I have worked diligently to hear directly from my constituents and community leaders through town halls, roundtable discussions, and social media. In responding to their needs, I’ve passed legislation to clean up coal ash, establish a public defenders’ office in my district, and help small business owners advance their entrepreneurial endeavors.

As a Delegate, I:

Never accepted money from Dominion Energy — and I won’t take their money now.
Co-sponsored legislation prohibiting public utilities from making non-essential expenditures like lobbying and campaign contributions.
Co-sponsored legislation prohibiting any candidate from soliciting or accepting a contribution from any public service corporation.
Supported an effort to create a public financing system for state elections.

Jennifer Carroll Foy’s Ethics Plan

Gender Equality

Here’s the Problem

I was in high school when Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the majority opinion that allowed women to attend Virginia Military Institute, which previously barred women from attending. It was that opinion that allowed me to attend VMI, where I eventually became one of the first women to graduate from the Institute.

That same principle has motivated so much of my work and guides me to blaze trails where one doesn’t exist. I ran for office while pregnant with twins. I led the fight to have Virginia be the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Now, I’m running to become the first Black woman governor in Virginia and the United States.

There are far too many barriers in the way for women, and especially women of color, to achieve their dreams. Women are still treated as second-class citizens. We face attacks on our ability to plan a family, get paid equally, and be treated with respect in the workplace.

My Plans as Governor

As Governor, I will continue to do everything I can to expand opportunities for women. I’ll fight for reproductive freedom, which means protecting and expanding access to abortion and contraception, ensuring Virginians have healthy pregnancies, and safe communities in which to raise their children. I’ll fight for equal pay and paid family leave, so women don’t have to choose between a paycheck and caring for a loved one.

My Record & Experience

Alongside my work leading the charge to make Virginia the 38th and final state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, I’ve made concrete changes to advance equality for all Virginians. Reflecting on my work, I’m glad to say that I’ve been on the frontier of gender equality in Virginia. I can’t wait to get even more done as Virginia’s first female governor.

As a Delegate, I:

Led the charge for the Reproductive Health Protection Act to preserve reproductive freedom and removed politically motivated restrictions on abortion.
Pushed forward legislation to establish equality in our school dress codes, ensuring restrictions that promote a safe school environment that respects students’ religious and ethnic differences.
Advocated for paid family and medical leave.
Passed the Pregnant Worker Fairness Act, requiring all employers to offer commonsense accommodations to pregnant workers.
Passed legislation to reduce the black maternal mortality rate.

Veterans

Here’s the Problem

As a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, I have the utmost respect for our veterans and their commitment to putting service before self. With nearly one in ten Virginians being a veteran, our Commonwealth is a proud home to many returning to civilian life. We must do all that we can to support our veterans as they do for us.

We must work to ensure that veterans can get the care that they need — beginning with stronger access to quality and affordable healthcare. Veterans from rural areas are especially disadvantaged when accessing physicians and healthcare providers. Additionally, research shows that 91 percent of veterans live with severe mental health conditions, and we must take this crisis seriously.

Our veterans are some of the best-equipped business owners in Virginia, having the leadership, discipline, and integrity that it takes to thrive in the entrepreneurial space. However, research shows that our veterans are facing overwhelming financial burden — often taking from personal savings — to start and maintain their businesses. We must do more to ensure that we are supporting veteran entrepreneurs.

My Plans as Governor

As Governor, I will keep up this momentum and continue to fight for our veterans. They protect and serve our families and we must do the same.

My Record & Experience

Many of my college classmates are veterans, and I know that our Commonwealth has not done enough to support our veterans. I ran for Delegate to expand veterans’ access to healthcare and as a supporter of veteran-owned small businesses, and I am proud of my record of support for veterans.

As a Delegate, I:

Passed legislation allowing service-disabled veteran-owned businesses to purchase property that the government no longer needs. This effort, inspired by feedback from veteran-owned businesses in Prince William County, made it possible for nearly 311 certified service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses in Virginia to access the capital needed to launch their businesses confidently.
Proposed amendments to the state budget to restore two key workforce development programs that help veterans enter the workforce — Virginia’s Job Investment Program and Virginia’s Talent Accelerator Program.
Co-sponsored legislation expanding access to alternative treatment options for those experiencing PTSD and related conditions.
Led efforts to raise funding for programs and initiatives geared towards women veterans.
Supported a bill to name the last full week of March as Women Veterans Week, highlighting the unique challenges women veterans face, especially around pregnancy and childbirth.

Racial Justice

Here’s the Problem

As a public defender and magistrate judge, I witnessed our two different criminal justice systems. One degrades marginalized communities and the other works for everyone else. This is a fact African-Americans know too well, and the summer of 2020 made the realities of systemic racism even more clear as we mourned the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Abery, and countless others. The time is now for clear and thoughtful change.

My Plans as Governor

In June 2020, I launched my Racial Justice Framework to work toward building a more just and equal Commonwealth. Rooted in conversations with community leaders, constituents, and working families, this framework serves as a starting point for policy and lawmakers to address the concerns of Virginians calling for change on racial disparities and inequalities. My protest is passing legislation, and as Governor, I will work every day to enact meaningful, substantive change.

My Record & Experience

I have fought to make our Commonwealth a place for all Virginians and will continue, without ceasing, to end racial injustice.

As a Delegate, I:

Sponsored legislation to address cash bail reform, the ban on parole, and the issue of “driving poor” — all of which contribute to mass incarceration and cyclical patterns of joblessness and poverty within minority communities.
Sponsored legislation to legalize marijuana and address the racial disparities related to incarceration and convictions.
Introduced and passed a bill prohibiting the use of neck restraints, such as chokeholds, by law enforcement.
Co-patroned legislation requiring law-enforcement officers to undergo training on de-escalation techniques, the lawful use of force, and implicit bias.
Launched an initiative to clarify the judicial appointment process for minority applicants, to create a network of mentors and champions for the applicants, and to inform our legislators about the importance of diversity and inclusiveness.
Passed the Dress Code Equity Act, the first bill in the nation to codify protections in school dress codes against religious and ethnic discrimination to combat school pushout for Black girls.
Introduced legislation permitting school principals to handle discipline issues rather than report children to law enforcement and co-sponsored a bill limiting the maximum number of days of school suspension from 365 to 45.
Passed a bill to assess the feasibility of Medicaid reimbursement for doula care to expand access by women of color to culturally competent care.
Passed a bill to expand opportunities for small- and minority-owned businesses to secure utility contracts.

Protecting LGBTQIA+ Rights

Here’s the Problem

Just recently, many Republican legislators in the General Assembly, including two Republican candidates for governor, voted to block the repeal of Virginia’s defunct ban on same-sex marriage. Virginia needs a leader who will protect and expand the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals, and I will be that leader. I have always been committed to ensuring all Virginians have an equal opportunity to thrive — no matter whom they love — and will continue to fight for equality in our Commonwealth as governor.

My Plans as Governor

As Governor, I will continue to ensure that our Commonwealth and the communities therein are protected and valued. It is time for us to finally fulfill the promise on which this country was founded: equality for all.

Amend the Virginia state constitution to be consistent with the Supreme Court 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision to reinforce that marriage equality is the law of the land.
Eliminate the LGBTQIA+ “panic defense,” thereby suspending leniency for violence committed because of one’s gender identity or sexual orientation. D.C. recently banned the defense, following the direction of eleven states, and we will push for Virginia to be next.
Institute a statewide 100-day challenge to end LGBTQIA+ homelessness. This effort, modeled on successes in California to combat veteran and youth homelessness, brings together local governments, nonprofits, and LGBTQIA+ centers to ensure that no person is without housing and to build on current community response initiatives.
Champion a bill that clarifies the Virginia Human Rights Act by defining sexual and workplace harassment to include harassment based on an individual’s sexual orientation and gender identity.
Review state-funded workforce development initiatives to ensure inclusive outreach, training, and hiring practices aimed at recruiting and retaining LGBTQIA+ employees.
Coordinate with the Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity to recognize LGBTQIA+-owned businesses and to ensure increased access to state-funded contracts.
Continue to declare every June as LGBTQIA+ pride month to further educate the public about the LGBTQIA+ movement and to commemorate its milestones and progress.
Appoint an LGBTQIA+ liaison to gather recommendations to address barriers and challenges facing the LGBTQIA+ community and offer policy solutions. This position would be in addition to the Director of LGBTQIA+ Outreach.
Support legislation to establish a Virginia LGBTQIA+ Advisory Board to promote and address prominent economic, social, and educational issues for LGBTQIA+ constituents.

My Record & Experience

Ever since I’ve been in office, I have worked to eliminate discriminatory laws that attack members of the LGBTQIA+ community, while also codifying necessary protections for these communities.

As a Delegate, I:

Co-patroned the Virginia Values Act, making Virginia the first Southern state to provide sweeping protections for the “LGBTQIA+ community against discrimination in housing, employment, public spaces, and on credit applications.”
Helped pass bills to end conversion therapy for persons aged 18 and under, and bar health care providers from limiting or denying coverage on the basis of gender identity or for being a transgender individual.
Co-patroned legislation to remove “statutory prohibitions on marriages and civil unions” between same-sex couples.
Successfully advocated to classify crimes against individuals on the basis of gender identity, disability, and sexual orientation as hate crimes.

Affordable Housing

Here’s the Problem

According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC), there is a shortage of more than 150,000 rental homes affordable and available for extremely low-income renters in Virginia. And 70 percent of extremely low-income renter households in our Commonwealth are “severely cost burdened,” meaning they spend more than half their income on housing, and they are most likely to sacrifice necessities to pay the rent.

These issues have only gotten worse during the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing Virginians into an impossible situation. Stretched thin and impacted by job losses that are no fault of their own, many don’t have the resources they expected to be able to pay their rent, along with other critical expenses to support their families. We know that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be felt for years to come, so we must take action to help Virginians at the center of the pain.

My Plans as Governor

These housing problems aren’t just issues Virginians have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ve persisted thanks to a broken status quo, leaving Virginians in the dark about how to keep their families safe and at home. I will work tirelessly to increase access to affordable housing and end houselessness by implementing zoning reforms and increasing funding for public housing. My administration will do more to protect and expand renter protections. We will work every day to help Virginians get back on their feet without having to lose a roof over their heads. It’s far past time to take action.

As Governor, I will:

Codify an eviction moratorium.
Expand payment plan requirements.
Increase access to affordable housing.
- Implement zoning reform.
- Work towards ending LGBTQIA+ houselessness.
- Address veteran houselessness & invest in veteran wrap-around services.
Build stronger protections for renters.
- Ensure that Virginia residents know their rights.
- Build on renter protections.
- Build on utility bill protections.

My Record & Experience

This is an issue my family and I have been deeply committed to solving. While volunteering at Legal Aid, I assisted those wrongfully evicted prepare for their eviction court hearings. And as a public defender representing indigent Virginians, I worked to help my clients without homes get connected with housing programs and resources. My husband has served people without housing in our community for 12 years, working with those experiencing trauma, domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental illness. And he’s helped them through the COVID-19 pandemic. As a Delegate, I pioneered legislation to keep and protect Virginians in their homes. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I co-patroned legislation to enact a statewide eviction moratorium — which I plan to extend as Governor.

As a Delegate, I:

Introduced and passed legislation providing up until two days before the eviction judgment to pay the full amount owed to a landlord. This bill was based on recommendations from the Virginia Housing Commission.
Co-patroned a bill to expand affordable housing by permitting certain landlords in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria Metropolitan Statistical Area to utilize the housing choice voucher tax credit.
Supported efforts to combat housing discrimination on the basis of source of funds. This bill prohibits landlords from “refusing renters and homeowners who use housing choice vouchers,” effectively widening housing options for low-income residents.
Co-patroned the Virginia Values Act, making Virginia the first Southern state to provide sweeping protections for the LGBTQ+ community against discrimination in housing and public spaces.

Access to Voting

Here’s the Problem

Democracy rests on the guaranteed right to vote for all Virginians, but too many politicians are fighting to take it away, rolling back the accessibility of voting and undermining the founding principle of our country.

My Plans as Governor

I will work every day to protect our democracy and that begins with strengthening the pillar on which it rests — voting. My administration will pave a clear path for all Virginians to cast their ballots in every election. We will tear down the barriers that are obstructing the rights citizens hold and ensure that everyone can and is able to exercise their right to vote.Repeal roadblocks preventing municipal broadband authorities from reaching new regions.

As Governor, I Will:

Institute a statewide vote-by-mail system, where every registered voter automatically receives a stamped ballot in the mail, while keeping in-person polling stations open for those who need or wish to use them.
Veto attempts to weaken existing voter protections. My administration will also ensure funding for voter awareness campaigns and prepaid postage.
Implement the recommendations put forward by the Department of Elections on “alternatives to the witness signature requirement” from their expected November report.
Continue to support a constitutional amendment to automatically restore the civil rights of returning citizens who have completed their time.
Continue to advocate for Virginia to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Pass legislation to permit local governing bodies to institute ranked choice voting for local government races.
Enact meaningful campaign finance reform to elevate the voices of the people and stop undue influence by special interests groups. My administration will work to lengthen the transition time for legislators interested in lobbying work, ban political contributions from corporations and strengthen transparency through greater lobbyists disclosure requirements.

My Record & Experience

I believe that we must elevate and protect the voices of everyone in our democracy. During my tenure and in direct response to the current pandemic, I worked diligently to ensure that every voter can exercise their right to vote.

As a Delegate, I:

Introduced a constitutional amendment to allow the automatic restoration of voting rights for returning citizens who have served their time.
Co-sponsored legislation to allow Virginia to award its electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the majority of popular votes.
Co-sponsored legislation permitting anyone to apply to vote by mail and advocated for bills to expand absentee voting protections for military and overseas voters.
Voted to create a new state holiday for Election Day.
Supported legislation to implement automatic voter registration for individuals applying for certain licenses and permits at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Voted to extend in-person polling hours and absentee voting deadlines, giving more Virginians the opportunity to vote.
Supported legislation to eliminate the photo ID requirement for individuals to vote.
Introduced a state budget amendment during the 2020 Special Session to direct funding towards the distribution of voter education materials on absentee voting. The budget amendment also included language omitting the witness requirement for individuals voting by mail in the November Election.

Access to Broadband

Here’s the Problem

Currently, more than 350,000 Virginia homes and businesses and 600,000 Virginians – mostly in Southwest, Southside, and Tidewater regions – still don’t have broadband access, while many Virginians who do have access struggle to afford it. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed even more Virginians to the realities of living without dependable access to the internet.

As a girl growing up in Petersburg, we couldn’t bring home books and materials for our school work, and this simply cut us off from opportunity. That’s exactly what this boils down to — a lack of access to the internet is a lack of access to opportunity. It’s being held back by no fault of your own. Access to the internet today means access to healthcare, better jobs, education, and so much more.

My Plans as Governor

As Governor, my pledge is to ensure 97 percent of Virginians will have access to high speed internet by the end of my administration. Here’s how I’ll do it:

Target and streamline funding for broadband deployment in underserved communities though the Virginia Telecommunications Initiative
Repeal roadblocks preventing municipal broadband authorities from reaching new regions
Prioritize and recruit local broadband providers and ensure large cable corporations don’t have an unfair leg up
Launch a pilot program to subsidize high speed internet access for Virginians eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits
Improve broadband data maps which help the Commonwealth better target investments to communities and areas that need it
Expand and fast track the completion of broadband infrastructure projects
Partner with school districts to tackle the homework gap to make sure children can access their education — at home and at school
Cover remote medical services for rural and underserved Virginians, expanding telehealth as outlined in my healthcare policy plan

My Record & Experience

I fought to expand broadband access to underserved communities, especially in rural and Southwest Virginia, because high speed internet is no longer a luxury for working families, it’s a necessity.

Now, my plan aims to expand broadband so that Virginians can work from home, students can participate in virtual learning, patients can access telehealth, and small businesses can survive, grow, and thrive.

As a Delegate, I:

Passed legislation to allow existing utility easements to be used for broadband deployment, creating a robust pathway for the expansion of high speed internet access to rural and Southwest Virginians.
Supported legislation to strengthen public-private partnerships by allowing electric utilities to partner with nongovernmental internet service providers to provide broadband to unserved communities and areas.
During the Special Session, published an op-ed in The Roanoke Times calling attention to the lobbying done by cable companies to prevent municipal broadband authorities from competing for state grant funding.
Submitted a letter to Gov. Ralph Northam urging him to ensure the equitable distribution of technology and resources to support distance learning.
Supported a near $85 million budget allocation to the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative to expand broadband infrastructure.

Supporting Virginians with Disabilities

Here’s the Problem

It is incredibly difficult for people with disabilities and their families to have basic needs met. I believe that everyone should be able to lead fulfilling lives and access support when needed. I am committed to standing with the disability community to ensure their right to thrive in our Commonwealth.

My Plans as Governor

My plan sets out to expand broadband access, make telehealth more widely available, eliminate subminimum wages so workers can earn livable incomes, drastically reform and reduce the use of restraint and seclusion tactics in schools, and other key priorities.

As Governor, I will:

Work to eliminate the inclusion penalty to maximize participation in community-based services, including supported living and in-home care.
Require education and training for school personnel on relationship-based, trauma-informed, collaborative approaches to providing a culture where children feel safe not only physically, but also emotionally, socially and culturally.
Address the disparate use of discipline including restraints and seclusion on students with disabilities, specifically students of color.
Codify legislation to prohibit the removal of accommodations, including mobility devices, technology, and interpreters, for people with disabilities at any stage in custody. The confiscation of such items makes it difficult for people with disabilities to communicate and advocate for themselves, leading some to become unnecessarily incarcerated.
Support legislation to promote and protect the civil rights of parents with disabilities throughout the family services systems.
Ensure Virginians of all backgrounds have access to economic opportunities by increasing financial support for Virginia’s Community Services Boards, which provide education, training, and services to youth and families with developmental disabilities; and by working to research and implement additional employer incentives to recruit, train, and hire people with disabilities. My administration will also promote the inclusion of students with disabilities in state government internship programs.

My Record & Experience

As a former public defender and current criminal defense attorney, I’ve always fought on behalf of individuals who are vulnerable to unfair treatment because of their mental or intellectual disability. I’ve also worked to protect and support our veterans with disabilities. I introduced and passed a bill to help service-disabled, veteran owned small businesses and veteran organizations purchase surplus property such as computers, furniture, and equipment to open or sustain a business.

As a Delegate, I:

Co-patroned a bill to require the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) to provide long term support services for employees with disabilities.
Helped pass legislation mandating healthcare insurers and providers to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder.
Supported measures to ensure robust and comprehensive IEP guidelines for educators when developing IEPs for students with disabilities.
Chief co-patroned legislation to establish the Marcus Alert System, which provides a mental health response with an informed law enforcement element to those experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis.
Co-patroned a bill mandating law-enforcement officers to undergo training on de-escalation techniques, the lawful use of force, and the recognition of implicit bias, including biases against people with mental illness and developmental or cognitive disabilities. This bill requires the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) to create a curriculum for the entire state.
Co-patroned a bill to require that the Criminal Justice Services Board include representatives of “social justice organizations, representatives of community interests of minorities, and mental health service providers.”
Supported measures to add crimes against individuals on the basis of disability to the categories of hate crimes and to increase the penalty for individuals who give a false report to the police on the basis of another person’s race, religion, or disability.
Supported legislation to direct the Department of Corrections to review and improve accommodations for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Voted in favor to allow “a court to defer and dismiss a criminal case where the defendant has been diagnosed with autism or an intellectual disability and the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the criminal conduct was caused by or had a direct and substantial relationship to the person’s disorder or disability.

Childcare & Early Childhood Education

Here’s the Problem

My public education left me unprepared for college and the real world. No student should ever feel like that. Every child deserves a chance to learn and to thrive in the classroom. Research shows that early learning can make the difference when it comes to success in school and in life.

Early childhood education yields both immediate and long-term benefits for students, including increased preparedness for kindergarten, early development of social and emotional skills, and a better likelihood of graduating high school. In addition to reduced crime rates and a stronger workforce, the savings incurred by the state would outweigh costs in under a decade. And yet, access and affordability continue to shutter student participation across the Commonwealth.

This lack of access is compounded by the high costs of childcare. In fact, in some parts of the state, childcare costs almost as much as a year at a community college — that’s a problem. The lack of affordability prevents children from accessing safe and nurturing educational environments, working families from receiving the help they need, and state and local economies from realizing their full productivity and efficiency goals.

My Plans as Governor

The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed the systemic inequities in our education system as well as the inadequacy of childcare infrastructure in our state. As a working mother of twin three- year- old boys, I understand the importance of ensuring affordable, high quality childcare and improving access to early childhood education — it’s about ensuring our children the best.

As Governor, I will:

Implement full-day preschool for at-risk three- and four-year-olds by expanding VPI eligibility criteria to include three year olds and investing more VPI funding per pupil.
Ensure dedicated funding streams to support early childhood education.
Make necessary reforms to the Local Composite Index (LCI).
Promote mixed delivery strategies to allow community-based and private programs to access state funding.
Increase teacher pay for early childhood educators.
Develop and execute a statewide assessment to ensure high-quality instruction.
Through my Virginia Childcare Access Now (VA CAN) Initiative, establish a task force to develop a plan to improve access to and the affordability of childcare, establish public-private partnerships with companies to construct new child care facilities, research how child care subsidies, improve compensation to the child care workforce, and study state and federally funded child care and early learning programs.
Expand the Working Families Earned Income Tax Credit.
Promote strategies to strengthen and support the childcare industry through background check portability and the use of subsidy contracts.
Increase the value and reach of child care subsidies.
Enact a Quality Rating Improvement System.

My Record & Experience

I first ran for office while pregnant with my twin boys, and as I raise my sons here in our state, I understand that too many Virginia families are struggling with the high cost of childcare. And while this issue affects many in our state, it disparately impacts working mothers and families of color. Our child care infrastructure is not a sustainable reality, and that is why I have made a clear commitment to ensuring affordable, high-quality child care throughout the Commonwealth.

Gun Violence Prevention

Here’s the Problem

Our Commonwealth has witnessed countless lives lost — and many of whom were disportionately Black and Brown. Over the years, there has been a significant increase in mass shootings and homicide rates, and what’s more, research shows that the leading cause of gun deaths is suicide. This is an ongoing problem that deserves immediate and thoughtful attention.

My Plans as Governor

I respect the right to safe and legal gun ownership, and I also believe in making communities safer from gun violence. It’s also important that we go one step further to address the underlying inequities that fuel gun violence, including poverty, inequality, and mental illness.

As Governor, I will:

End universal reciprocity for concealed carry permits.
Establish and promote violence intervention initiatives aimed at tackling gun violence in neighborhoods and communities where it is most prevalent. These programs are community-centered and strengthen partnerships between “community members, law enforcement, and social and mental health service providers.”
Coordinate with local governments to implement and improve gun buyback programs to ensure the removal of firearms commonly used in gun violence.
Build on firearm training standards for concealed carriers to ensure everyone has information on basic gun handling, safe storage, and the hazards of gun ownership.
Pass legislation to prohibit the sale of assault style weapons, including trigger activators, within the state and the possession of assault style weapons purchased outside of the state.
Eliminate loopholes in the state code, such as the voluntary requirement for background checks at shooting ranges, that make it possible for dangerous individuals to access a weapon.
Create a Director of Gun Violence Prevention within my administration.
Allocate funding to create public awareness campaigns about Virginia’s red flag law.

My Record & Experience

During my time in the House of Delegates, I fought hard to make our communities safer in the Commonwealth. I continually supported evidence-based gun safety measures, advocating in honor of my friend in Petersburg who nearly lost his life to gun violence — and in honor of all Virginians affected by gun violence.

As a Delegate, I:

Co-patroned legislation requiring background checks on all firearm sales. This bill repeals the voluntary requirement of background checks for prospective purchasers or transferees at firearm shows, also known as the “gunshow loophole.”
Supported legislation for the fair, judicious, and temporary separation of firearms from those who pose a danger to themselves or others.
Supported legislation to bolster community awareness of missing firearms by “requiring gun owners to report their lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement within 48 hours.”
Voted in favor of limiting handgun purchases to one per 30 days.
Supported legislation granting localities permission to ban firearms at certain buildings, parks, and community and recreational centers.

Transportation

Here’s the Problem

Transportation in Virginia feels like a daily disaster. Virginians face some of the worst traffic in the entire country. Public transportation experiences constant setbacks, and our infrastructure is alarmingly out-of-date. These challenges aren’t just a frustration working families must confront on the way to a job or school — they can cost Virginians thousands of dollars in lost productivity. And we know that low-income Virginians are the most likely to use public transportation. The nature of work is changing alongside the rise of technology and “work from home” industries. After a year spent remote, more Virginians may continue working from home even after the COVID-19 pandemic. We must look towards the future and build a sustainable foundation for our transportation system. As Virginia urbanizes and grows, we need policies that can keep up.

My Plans as Governor

We need leadership that is forward-looking and transportation infrastructure that is primed for the inevitable changes to come. As Governor, I will fight to ensure that our Commonwealth remains the best place to live and work. This begins with ensuring our transportation systems are both eco-friendly and durable for Virginians who use them every day.

As Governor, I Will:

Ensure the fiscal solvency of crucial transportation agencies that were impacted by COVID-19 shutdowns. My administration will also work to improve conditions for transit workers by ensuring paid sick leave, safe working conditions, and sustainable wages for public transit employees and airline personnel during and after the current pandemic.
End the 3% cap on Metro operating costs to ensure transit workers always receive fair wages and push the federal government to create a dedicated funding stream for Metro.
Make investments to ensure repairs to our existing roadways and bridges. My administration will ensure the completion of current widening projects to our highways and meet with local government officials to address long term transportation needs, including traffic and commuter congestion and out-of-date infrastructure. I will continue to fund the construction of Metro Silver Line Phase Two, the 495 Express Lanes to the American Legion Bridge, the expansion of the Richmond Highway, the I-64 Peninsula Widening Project in Hampton Roads, and the deepening and widening of the Norfolk Harbor.
Work to expand the Metro Blue Line to Prince William County.
Make additional investments to the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority and continue the implementation of Governor Northam’s Transforming Rail in Virginia initiative.
Work to restore funding to the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority to pre-2018 levels.
Coordinate with private sector partners in the pursuit of robust rail infrastructure projects. To start, my administration will work closely with the Greater Washington Partnership to ensure concerted efforts on “regional rail service, capital investments, and joint procurement strategies,” as outlined in their 2021 technical report.
Work to implement the recommendations put forward by the Department of Rail and Public Transportation on “transit equity and modernization” following their expected 2022 report. This effort was recently passed by the General Assembly.
Work with Governor Hogan and Mayor Bowser to establish a regional group focused on the development of rail travel to better compete for federal funding. We will work together to attempt to implement the Greater Washington Partnership’s plan.

My Record & Experience

Virginia’s transportation isn’t just about cars on the road. The Commonwealth is a hub for rail, buses, and airlines, and as a Delegate, I prioritized shoring up all modes of transportation across the state.

As a Delegate, I:

Sponsored a resolution to examine “the feasibility of extending the Blue Line and other multimodal options” to Prince William County.
Helped pass a bill to address congested interstate corridors, a bill to study roads and bridges impacted by environmental stressors, and a bill to review solutions to build a cleaner transportation system in the state.
Voted to ensure a dedicated source of funding for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
Supported the transportation omnibus bill in 2020 to eliminate unnecessary fines and fees for Virginia drivers, establish transportation safety programs, and create a new fund for necessary capital and infrastructure projects to improve Virginia’s transportation systems. This bill also designates funding for ongoing rail and highway projects in Northern Virginia and rural Virginia, respectively.
Voted to establish the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority. The VPRA will “also administer all capital expansion projects, infrastructure, and land acquisitions related to Governor Northam’s $3.7 billion Transforming Rail in Virginia initiative.”
Led the charge for paid sick leave and increased worker safety standards for bus transit operators and airline service personnel during COVID-19.^[14]

2019

Jennifer D. Carroll Foy did not complete Ballotpedia's 2019 Candidate Connection survey.

2017

Carroll Foy's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Education
Public education has a direct impact on the economy and raises families out of poverty. In order to attract and retain quality teachers, we must increase teacher salaries. We must also reinvest in our schools to remain competitive and prepare the future generation. I will also champion for early childhood education which will help close the achievement gap.

Women's Rights
I will vigorously support a woman's right to make choices regarding her education, career, and health. Specifically, I support equal pay for equal work. One of the most fundamental constitutional protections is a right to privacy. I will advocate for women's rights to unrestricted access to affordable care, including reproductive services. Advocacy on this issue is at an all time high because there is a concerted effort to reverse much of the progress made regarding women's rights.

Immigration Reform
The current state of immigration policy isn’t working. It divides families, damages our communities, and negatively stigmatizes ethnic and racial groups. Not only is this problematic on a national level but Prince William County specifically is one of the most diverse counties in the Commonwealth. It is important that the laws enacted are inclusive, fair, and constitutional. I will support:

Comprehensive immigration reform that is consistent with our country's values.
Legislation that permits undocumented drivers to obtain licenses, which will increase revenue and make our streets safer.

Criminal Justice Reform
As a former Magistrate and a current criminal defense attorney, I have witnessed first hand the need for criminal justice reform. Smart on crime initiatives have proven to be more effective and cost efficient than the draconian tough on crime practices. Also, society is leaning more towards rehabilitation and away from retributive ideals of punishment for individuals suffering from substance abuse and mental illnesses. I will diligently support:

Policies to help end the school to prison pipeline for many of our youth by promoting alternatives to out of school suspension and emphasizing deterrence options for resource officers.
A law that decriminalizes possession of marijuana by adults.
Eliminating the suspension of licenses for failure to pay fines and fees.

Transportation
Prince William and Stafford Counties face major challenges from traffic congestion and transportation issues. As a daily commuter, I understand first hand the affect that traffic has on our businesses and our quality of life. I will work hard to find viable transportation solutions such as extending the metro into Prince William County and fighting for greater Virginia Department of Transportation funds to extend HOV lanes and improve secondary roads in our area.^[14]

Scorecards

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.
