Get StartedWhile we should always seek to improve and innovate our policing, we should never bend to the calls to defund the police. We can both support our law enforcement, while also insisting on accountability and transparency. We must continue to build trust between police departments and communities. Learn more
We must support and fund law enforcement, to ensure responsiveness and effectiveness. We owe our law enforcement better training, better funding, and better support — it makes everyone safer. Learn more
Our veterans have served us. We must serve them in return. Virginia can and should be the most veteran-friendly state in America. Mark has both supported and introduced legislation to benefit veterans -- from supporting the VMSDEP to working to increase paid leave to assist veteran family members with healthcare, Mark has and will continue to fight for vets.

We must do everything we can to create a pro-business climate, which includes resisting tax increases and burdensome regulations. Both Mark and his wife Mary work in small businesses, so they understand the challenges and needs that need to be addressed. Learn more
We must continue to fight inflation by being wise with the state budget and not overspending. Additionally, we need to work to lower the cost of gas, groceries, and everyday items. Part of that is by embracing an all-of-the-above strategy on energy, to make sure we have affordable energy to power our homes and businesses. Learn more
Mark knows we need to support and improve our public schools. Better pay for teachers, smaller class sizes, and improving school infrastructure should be our top priorities. At the same time we’re strengthening our public schools, we should encourage a diversity of educational options. Parents know that children aren’t one-size-fits-all, so neither should our education system be one-size-fits-all. Learn more
We need to fully fund our education system. We need to recruit & retain the best & brightest teachers. We need to keep politics out of the classroom. We need to treat students as individuals, understanding that some will go on to higher education, while others will opt to go directly into the workforce. And in all aspects, we need to respect and empower parents. Learn more
Mental health and addiction must also be top priorities. Sadly, many families know the tragedies that result when we fail to address these issues. As an attorney and foster parent, Mark understands how these issues, if unchecked, can lead to untold damage to families and our communities. We must proactively address these issues. Learn more
We need to focus on real solutions to healthcare. We need easier access, better quality, and far more transparency, achieved through a market driven approach that drives down cost. Giving choice to consumers should always be a top priority. Learn more
Mark is also committed to fighting both illegal immigration and fentanyl epidemic. He introduced legislation to ensure Virginia cooperated with immigration authorities when it comes to illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes. Further, Mark has supported legislation to continue battling the fentanyl crisis, and even serves on the Task Force on Fentanyl and Heroin Enforcement. Learn more
We should minimize the tax burden on our families and businesses so they can keep more of their own hard-earned money. Families and businesses will always know how to use their money more wisely than the government. Learn more
