Alex, on the issues:

➔ Healthcare +

"The General Assembly must continue to protect every Virginian's access to affordable healthcare."

➔ Education +

"We must strengthen our public education system by providing teachers and parents with adequate resources to help our children succeed."

"No one in Virginia should ever have to worry if their air is safe to breathe or if their water is clean to drink. Richmond must hold polluters accountable for their actions and we must act immediately to ensure a clean and sustainable environment."
