It is truly an honor to serve as your State Senator for the 28th District. Since being elected in 2007, I have worked hard for common sense solutions to fix our roads, clean up the Chesapeake Bay, improve our children's education, and ensure a better quality of life for our citizens.

One of my priorities as your Senator is to improve our local economies. People are hurting and family budgets are tightening. That is why I will continue to support legislation and initiatives that put less of a burden on small businesses and families when it comes to paying taxes. This will help businesses expand or locate to our area, and will provide more job opportunity and increase our revenue. Likewise, our quality of life will improve so we can spend more time with our families and less time commuting to work.

I look forward to continuing to work with you over the next few years. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Together we can continue to make Virginia the best state to live, work and raise a family in!

Senator Richard H. Stuart
