Voting Rights and Fair Representation
If elected, will you commit to:
Protect automatic voter registration at the DMV?
Additional Comment:
I believe this would help a greater number of people to get registered to vote.
Support same-day voter registration for all eligible citizens?
Additional Comment:
This would improve voter participation and reduce challenges or barriers to voting, especially for young voters.
Protect current no-excuse in-person and absentee early voting?
Additional Comment:
As someone who often travels as part of my career, I have had to rely on early voting. In our area there are many people who lack reliable transportation to the polls and who have other conflicts impacting their ability to vote. The more chances they have to cast their vote, the better.
Vote in favor of a constitutional amendment to automatically restore the voting rights of Virginians who were convicted of felonies, but have served their time?
Support legislation that allows the use of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in local elections and party primaries?
Transparency & Accountability to Virginia Voters
If elected, will you commit to:
Agree to strengthen disclosure requirements for independent expenditures, including “dark money” donors, thus bringing more transparency to entities trying to influence Virginia elections?
Support legislation that sets limits on campaign contributions that mirror federal requirements or have slightly higher limits?
Additional Comment:
The amount of money required to run a campaign is sickening and limits many people from running successfully.
Vote in favor of the introduction of a system of public financing of elections, either state-wide or making it open to implement by local jurisdictions?
Sign onto a resolution which calls on the Virginia Congressional Delegation to enact an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which allows states and Congress to regulate election spending?
Support legislation that provides meaningful tools to investigate and enforce the ethics requirements that apply to the Virginia General Assembly?
Additional Comments
If we do nothing to keep moneyed interests out of politics, we will continue to have a system serving only the wealthy, rather than the general populace.
