"Many tell me that they love that "I'm a fighter."
They love that I can't be bought by special interest groups or lobbyists and that I introduce legislation that people care about.
When my Republican Caucus leader Tommy Norment sponsored tax increases and gun control, I left the caucus; not because I didn't like the Senators, but because what they were doing was wrong and I stood up to them. They wanted to teach me a lesson.
Now that same Republican Senate Minority Leader has hosted at least one fundraiser for my RINO opponent Glenn Sturtevant who will go along to get along with the political elite who are not for you.
Because I stood up to them, they changed the Senate rules and took away all of my committee assignments, striped me of my seniority and stuck my desk in the corner. Nobody puts baby in the corner. So, I ran for Governor.
I was the front runner, until the State GOP implemented a Rigged Rank Choice Convention, which creates many hurdles that disenfranchise most registered voters from participating in choosing their Republican nominee, because they do not understand how to vote. So only those who faithfully participate in their local GOP Committee and their friends choose our Republican nominees. That's wrong! And not only did I call foul play. I sued the Republican Party of Virginia over it. We should include those who vote Republican, not just those who are able to volunteer for a GOP Committee.
Now some of the party elite hope I will simply leave and not fight for my seat, but that won't happen either!
Knowing how much support I have with the people, my opponents who are puppets for the political ruling class knew they had to start early. Well my question is, "Where have their candidates been?"
Neither one of my opponents stood up to the gun control groups when they were coming for your guns. They were no where to be found in 2020 when HB961 was presented to the Democrat controlled Senate Judiciary Committee. I was on the front row when the Democrat Senate Chair called me up to his chair to let me know the anti-gun bill, that would turn law abiding gun owners into felons overnight, would pass by for the year because of my efforts to lead our grassroots in calls, emails and visits to legislators. The Democrat controlled Senate Judiciary committee understand that Virginians support gun rights and we won.
I proudly led the effort to ensure law abiding citizens would not be turned into felons and was one of the only elected officials to speak at the annual VCDL Rally in Richmond, which turned out to be the largest 2A Rally in Virginia history. I have consistently fought publicly and unapologetically to preserve and restore your gun rights as a law abiding citizen. The entire almost 8 years I've served in the Virginia Senate, I'm the only candidate who can say I have a perfect lifetime score of 100 percent with the Virginia Citizen's Defense League and A rating with the NRA. I understand the importance of eliminating gun free zones which only turn participants into sitting ducks in a barrel. I get it because I live it. As it stands, I am the only candidate who also carries for personal protection and will do everything I can to restore gun rights lost in 2020 with the Democrat Trifecta.
Neither one of my opponents participated in any effort to push back against covid mandates. Delegate John McGuire was the only legislator to join me for the "Reopen Virginia" Rally that I led. We drove our cars ar0und capital grounds and beeped our horns while Governor Ralph Northam was giving his weekly Covid update. You could hear our beeping horns during his live weekly presentation.
Neither one of my opponents has done anything to call for an investigation into the 2020 Presidential Election or called for a FULL forensic audit.
Actions speak louder than words.
This session I was the ONLY legislator to introduce legislation to call for a FULL forensic audit.
I'm the only elected official from Virginia to witness in person the full forensic audit in Arizona and the release of the Executive Summary from the gallery of the Arizona Senate gallery. I used the knowledge I gained from the Arizona full forensic audit to draft and introduce 10 bills to put the guardrails back on our elections using the knowledge I gained in Arizona and also my role as National Election Integrity Chair.
I introduced legislation requiring photo identification to vote, requirement of a notary signature and required excuse to vote mail-in or absentee, elimination of voter ballot boxes that have no chain or custody, elimination of the permanent absentee voter list which allows live ballots to be mailed automatically to voters and the list goes on. I stood on my feet for 4 hours straight presenting 10 election integrity bills to the Democrat controlled Senate Privileges and Elections Committee.
During the pandemic, I was the ONLY legislator who refused to wear a mask. In fact, they built a plexiglass wall around my desk on the Senate floor. Later it was discovered that masks are actually hazardous to your health and make you more likely to contract Covid. Later, I cosponsored and passed legislation that allowed parents to determine whether or not their child would wear a mask to school.
I was the ONLY legislator to introduce legislation to make it illegal to discriminate against people who choose not to wear a mask or get the vaccine.
I was the ONLY legislator to be illegitimately censured for attending the January 6 rally to exercise my First Amendment right to participate in a "Stop the Steal" Rally with President Trump.
I was the ONLY legislator to be canceled on Facebook.
WHY?
Because I'm one of the ONLY legislators who has the fortitude to stand up for you"
