Virginia’s families deserve affordable energy, and our communities need reliable power they can count on. That’s why I support a common sense all-of-the-above approach, with small modular nuclear reactors and natural gas at the center. Nuclear provides safe, carbon-free power around the clock, while natural gas has already lowered bills and cut emissions—proving innovation works better than Washington mandates.
This is especially urgent as data centers expand across Virginia, demanding massive amounts of steady power. To keep these jobs and investments here at home, Virginia and all North America needs energy that is secure, affordable, and local. Just as important, this growth must happen with community buy-in and full coordination between residents, energy providers, and policymakers. And as we grow, we must protect treasures like the Rappahannock River—because progress should never come at the cost of the natural beauty that defines our communities.
By pairing these strengths with American innovation in wind, rooftop solar, hydropower, and carbon capture, we can keep costs low for families, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen our national security.
Finally, America doesn’t stand alone in this effort. By working with the U.S. subsidiaries of Canadian energy firms and embracing a North American energy strategy, we can strengthen energy independence across the continent, drive innovation, and ensure that Virginia families benefit from reliable, affordable power for decades to come.

Healthy people start with healthy food—and that begins with how we farm.
Regenerative agriculture supports rural farmers by improving soil health, protecting water resources, and strengthening the long-term productivity of family farms. These practices help ensure agriculture remains sustainable, profitable, and resilient for generations to come. We need this critical link to ensure a healthy food supply.
We must make it easier for farmers to sell directly to consumers, creating stronger connections between rural producers and suburban households looking for affordable fresh, high-quality nutritious food. Reducing unnecessary middle layers in the supply chain increases competition, supports local farmers, and helps lower food costs for families.
Better food results in better health. While not the only factor, food is at the core of our epidemics of diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and other chronic illnesses.
When rural farms are strong and suburban families have better access to fresh, nutritious food, the entire community benefits—healthier land, healthier food, and a more resilient local economy.
Locally supported agriculture keeps our hard-earned dollars right here at home, empowering working families, small farmers, and hometown businesses to thrive together while strengthening competition at farmers’ markets and local markets—helping expand choices and bring food costs down for everyone.
This is a practical, forward-looking approach that supports farmers, families, and long-term food security.

As a husband and father, I understand the importance of a happy and healthy family. Strong families, empowered workers, and thriving businesses are the foundation of a healthy community. I’m committed to policies that support working parents, expand opportunity, and make it easier to build a good life right here at home. That means reducing the cost of living, encouraging job creation, and cutting red tape that holds back small businesses. It also means protecting parental rights, promoting skilled trades, and keeping the American Dream within reach for the next generation. When families are supported, workers are respected, and businesses are free to grow—everyone benefits.

Rising housing costs are a major factor in lack of affordability for Virginians. Median house prices have risen by 65-70% in the past decade, leaving too many Virginians behind, or struggling as housing consumes ever more of their budget.
While the bulk of remedies are at the state and local level, all levels of government should be promoting policies to increase housing supply. Higher prices are a supply-demand problem. Giving subsidies, while tempting, will not fix the core problem of insufficient supply.
The best way to increase supply is to reduce regulation for development, redevelopment, and building supply chains, while creating some legal protections against frivolous zoning disputes. Creative solutions, such as making federal land available, can also be pursued.
But the bottom line is that more units need to be created to fix the current shortage driven by population growth, to make it possible for our children and grandchildren to buy homes and raise families.

Taxpayers deserve a government that respects their hard work and uses their dollars wisely. I’m committed to easing the tax burden on families and businesses by promoting fiscal responsibility and reducing unnecessary spending. As a husband, father, veteran, and business partner, I know that means making smart choices—cutting inefficiencies, reviewing outdated programs, and ensuring every dollar serves a clear purpose. We can provide essential services while still allowing Virginians to keep more of what they earn. It’s not about cutting for the sake of cutting—it’s about doing better with less and building a government that’s efficient, accountable, and sustainable.

Illegal immigration and drug trafficking are critical national security issues, and with my experience at the White House as Director for Iraq at the National Security Council, I will treat them as such. I support strong enforcement of our immigration laws to stop unlawful entry and deter those who exploit our system. But it’s not just about the border—it’s about what’s coming across it. Fentanyl is killing thousands of Americans every month, and it’s flooding into our communities through cartel-run trafficking routes. We must treat this like the emergency it is: empowering law enforcement, increasing penalties for traffickers, and enhancing cooperation across federal, state, and local agencies. I’ll fight to shut down the pipeline of poison and hold both foreign suppliers and domestic dealers accountable—because every family deserves a community free from fear and addiction.

“Peace through Strength” is not just a campaign slogan, it is a tried and true approach to combating America’s foreign adversaries. During my time in the Army, I’ve seen the first hand the dangers our enemies pose. That’s why I have dedicated both my time in the public and private sectors to defending our nation and educating the public about foreign threats. In Congress, I will work to advance a foreign policy that defends our borders, increases global stability, and ensures America’s interests are protected both at home and abroad.

Virginia is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the nation, yet too many veterans feel frustrated, ignored, or left behind by a system that was meant to serve them. As a combat veteran, I’ve experienced firsthand how bureaucracy and broken processes can fail the very people they’re supposed to help. We must address these systemic problems with real reform by cutting through red tape, modernizing outdated systems that create long wait times, and improving the quality of care veterans receive.
My priority is simple: veterans should never feel abandoned! Once in Congress, I will work to streamline bureaucracy by shifting resources away from administrative overhead and directing them to frontline services like suicide prevention, mental health care, and community-based care programs. I will support smarter partnerships and innovation to expand care options, reduce delays, and meet veterans where they are. Most importantly, we must restore trust through transparency, accountability, and consistent engagement with the veteran community. Our veterans kept their commitment to us, now it’s time for our government to keep its commitment to them.

Safe communities start with strong support for the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us. I stand with law enforcement and believe they deserve the resources, training, and respect they need to do their jobs effectively. We must invest in better policing, support community partnerships, and hold criminals accountable. I’ll always back those who uphold the law and keep our neighborhoods safe, because public safety is the foundation of opportunity and peace of mind for every family.

Protecting public health means staying ahead of problems before they hurt our families no matter where we live. Lyme disease is a growing threat across Virginia, impacting rural communities, suburbs, and urban neighborhoods alike as ticks spread and exposure seasons grow longer. From kids playing in their backyards, to families enjoying local parks, to workers who spend time outdoors, no part of our district is immune.
That’s why leadership matters. There is renewed national momentum to improve Lyme disease diagnostics by bringing patients, doctors, and researchers together to deliver faster, more accurate testing and patient-centered care. As your representative, I’ll make sure our district (urban, suburban, and rural) is part of that effort, with a focus on prevention, early detection, and coordinated care so families get answers sooner, outcomes improve, and healthcare costs come down.

As a father, I understand that every student deserves the opportunity to compete and participate in a way that’s fair and respectful, especially when it comes to girls’ sports and private spaces. Protecting fairness in competition and ensuring privacy and safety in these spaces isn’t about division—it’s about making sure our daughters have the same opportunities and protections generations of women before them fought to secure. I support thoughtful, respectful policies that uphold these principles while treating all students with dignity.

The right to keep and bear arms is not a political preference, it is a constitutional guarantee, and I will defend it. As a veteran, I know firsthand that the ability to protect yourself and your family is not theoretical. Law-abiding Virginians should never have to navigate unnecessary bureaucracy or government overreach to exercise a right clearly enshrined in the Constitution.
I support national concealed carry reciprocity so that law-abiding gun owners are not treated as criminals when they cross a state line. I oppose any scheme that requires a government-issued permit just to purchase a firearm. That is a poll tax on a constitutional right and has no place in a free society. These proposals do not stop criminals. They burden responsible gun owners while leaving communities no safer.
Hunting and outdoor traditions are also woven into the fabric of life in this district, and I will always stand up for the farmers, sportsmen, and families who rely on those rights. Protecting the Second Amendment is about protecting the principle that free people have the right to defend themselves, their homes, and their communities. That is a commitment I take seriously, and it is one I will carry to Congress.
