Brent, on the issues:

➔ Healthcare +

"States should do everything they can to ensure nobody dies or suffers financially because they lack adequate insurance."

➔ Human Rights +

"Everyone deserves to be treated equally, with dignity and respect regardless of sex, gender, race, religion, national origin, sexual preference or identity."

➔ VA Workers & Economy +

"All Virginians deserve the dignity of working a job that allows us to support ourselves and our families, get adequate rest, and spend quality time with the people we love."

➔ Energy +

"Virginia's land, air, and water belong to all of us, and must be protected from fracked gas pipelines and other sources of pollution. We need to take immediate and meaningful action to stop the breakdown of our climate. Virginia must reduce our carbon pollution by 45% by 2031."

➔ Criminal Justice Reform +

"Brent wants to end this shameful era of New Jim Crow, over-criminalization, and mass incarceration in Virginia."
