The Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature is attempting to buy women's votes by attempting to resurrect a zombie at taxpayer expense. Voting to ratify the so-called Equal Rights Amendment, which expired 40 YEARS AGO, and has been declared legally dead in federal court and by the Justice Department is irresponsible and offensive. The act has no impact or significance but to tell our daughters that women were not created equal by God, that we need Congress (a still-male dominated body) to secure our equality and to put Virginia taxpayers on the hook for huge legal bills knowing the legislation is headed straight for federal court. They are masters at buying votes with empty promises and sticking us with the bill.
Wednesday, the Department of Justice issued a legal opinion declaring that the so-called Equal Rights Amendment is no longer pending before the states, because the deadline for ratification has long expired. In light of this ruling, I was honored to go to Richmond on behalf of Eagle Forum and the Virginia Family Foundation and urge the Senate Privileges and Election Committee not to pass the bill, because it would only mean  committing Virginia taxpayers to pay for lengthy and hopeless litigation. That is money out of your pocket going to pay lawyers, instead of going to find priorities like fixing our roads, taking better care of our first responders, increasing teacher pay and improving education. 
Not surprisingly, this request was ignored. 
Even if the Equal Rights Amendment were a viable amendment,  Virginia lawmakers should oppose it, because it does not provide any benefit to women that we do not enjoy under existing law, but it does massively expand the power of Congress. 
Please urge your legislate tour to vote no on ERA. It does not put women in the constitution, it only means needless taxpayer expense.
Sorry I’ve been trying to post a video that just won’t upload, but I am so thankful to everybody who helped our make campaign a success, even though we lost. Government is incredibly important. That’s why I felt compelled to run to oppose the Democrats’ agenda. But, it’s really the people that make a community, state, and a nation great. For the past eight months my full-time job has been getting to know our community even better, and regardless of shifting political winds, our community is and will remain great! Let’s all rejoice in the end of the endless mail, nasty commercials and ugly signs season, enjoy the holidays and continue to enjoy our remarkable community!
One of the greatest honors from this race has been earning the endorsement of our state and local firefighters. I am determined to fight for those who fight for us!
