TRANSPORTATION:
Families should not have to plan their lives around congestion. Time spent sitting in traffic means time from our families, diminished productivity for businesses, and loss of the quality of life that makes living in Virginia so great. As our State Senator, Richard Stuart will deliver the resources to congested areas in Stafford that we deserve, and fight to maintain the rural character of the Northern Neck while improving traffic mobility and safety.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:
Legal immigrants seeking opportunity in our free society have made America what it is today. We honor legal immigrants when we ensure that our laws are followed. As our State Senator, Richard Stuart will not support the use of a single taxpayer dollar being spent on services for those here illegally, including in-state college tuition. In addition, he will support an agreement between the State Police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to give a certain number of troopers expanded immigration enforcement capabilities to include arresting undocumented individuals. Our government should not reward or encourage illegal behavior. Top
