Herb, on the issues:

➔ Healthcare +

"No one should have to declare bankruptcy as a result of medical expenses. Virginia finally expanded Medicaid and 400,000 more Virginians now have access to health care that they did not have before. In addition to my support of Medicaid Expansion, I also support CHIP and the important services they provide to Virginians. I will work to protect Medicaid Expansion, to fully fund the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS),..."

➔ Education +

"We must provide our teachers and staff with the tools and techniques to prepare our students to prosper in a vibrant, dynamic, evolving economy. To do this, we must 1) provide quality pre-kindergarten for all families; 2) equip teachers, staff with the training and tools that facilitate collaborative, dynamic learning; 3) attract and retain the best and the brightest talent available ...; 4) create learning environments that are safe..

➔ Gun Violence Prevention +

"I also believe in responsible gun ownership. My wife and I own fire arms. Gun safety is not a political issue; it is a commonsense issue.

I was in Afghanistan when the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut occurred. I remember calling [My wife] to check on her... As I was talking to her, it occurred to me that I was safer in a combat zone in Afghanistan than she was in the United States as the principal of a high school."

➔ VA Workers & Economy +

"I believe that the minimum living wage should be $15/hour.

"I believe in organized labor. Unions have historically been the bedrock of the American middle-class. Unions are responsible for the establishment of minimum-wage laws, overtime rules, worker's compensation, severance pay, and many other benefits all Americans enjoy today."
