We have much work ahead of us to make Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family. It is an honor to be your voice and fight for our conservative values in Richmond. Inflation, rising gas prices, taxes, public safety, education, School Choice, Ukraine, election integrity, infrastructure, rural broadband, healthcare, protecting the sanctity of life, protecting our 2nd amendment, and more are on the minds of fellow Virginians. Governor Youngkin and the rest of us in the General Assembly are working hard to address your concerns. |

We are still in special session and without a budget and we still have bills in conference. Establishing the budget would have been easy if we had a Republican State Senate, as most agree that we need: raises for teachers, more money for schools, and law enforcement. Democrats in the Senate are dragging things out and trying to block Governor Youngkin’s agenda.
This Wednesday we will return to Richmond to review and vote on Governor amendments. Speaker Todd Gilbert and our Republican Caucus are doing a great job working together as a team, but we must win back the State Senate to make big changes.
We are all proud to serve with Republican Governor Glen Youngkin. Here is my April update with some of the things on my mind and some of what I've been up to around the district:

March for Life April 27, 2022 |
|
Life is a miracle and must be protected at all cost. Each year I carry this backpack in session to each committee with a baby sock to remind others we must protect our most vulnerable. Students for Life gave me this idea years ago. Please join me April 27 for the 4th Annual Virginia March for Life, hosted by the Family Foundation. Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears and Alveda King will speak on the steps of the Virginia Capitol.Click Here for details
FYI, President Trump was the first president in history to speak at the March for Life in Washington D.C.

All of our anti-voter fraud or voter integrity bills were killed or watered down in the Democrat Virginia State Senate this year. Send me to the Virginia State Senate and we will get common sense voter integrity laws done in Virginia! |
|
Not only does our Second Amendment codify our God-given rights to protect ourselves, but it is also a national security issue. An enemy would be foolish to invade a well-armed American people. Each year our pro-gun Second Amendment bills are killed in the Democrat State Senate. With a 100 VCDL score each year, I've introduced constitutional carry, the Jack Wilson act, sovereign immunity (you can sue the Government if you get shot in a gun free zone), and other pro Second Amendment bills. Let's work together and win a Republican majority State Senate next year and stop infringements on our God-given Second Amendment rights. One of the reasons I'm running for State Senate is to continue fighting to protect your Second Amendment rights! |

Governor Ron DeSantis used political force to end Disney’s ability to self-govern. He also went after school text books with divisive ideologies, passed a Parental Rights bill, and proposed a congressional map that would add four more Republican Districts. |
|
Glenn Youngkin started special session off by passing five bipartisan Beagle bills, where every legislator voted, “yes”, and he delivered a message we can work together to get things done for Virginians. My friends and fellow Delegates, Rob Bell - 58th District of VA House of Delegates and H. Buddy Fowler - 55th District of VA House of Delegates, and I attended the signing with Buddy's Rabbit Dog, Greta, where Governor Youngkin signed Delegate Bell's and Delegates Fowler's Beagle bills into law!! |

Annie, an avid hunter and fisher, lives in District 56 and started an outdoor Hunting/ Fishing club for teens, and she has an interest in politics. While helping us during Special Session she met many legislators and staff. She had many questions for our Lieutenant Governor. Thank you, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl Sears, for answering our intern, Annie's, questions on politics, the military, and more. |
|
I attended the heartbreaking funeral and then the burial for Henrico Police Officer, Trey Marshal Sutton. who tragically passed away too young, at age 24, on March 22. His fiancée gave a beautiful account of their love, and his brother shared his story. We are blessed as a country to have men and women in law-enforcement who risk their life to keep us safe every day. Thank you for your service, and RIP Trey. Please send prayers for officer Greg Petrohovich, who is still in the hospital but getting better. |

Hanover Sheriff, A Salute to Our Heroes
|
|
I was honored to be one of many proud sponsors at the “A Salute to Our Heroes” Annual Awards Presentation in Hanover County. Without our men and women in law-enforcement we would not have a country. Thank you for your selfless service! Hanover Sheriff Hines, deputies, and staff did an incredible job honoring our heroes. It was great to see Attorney General Jason Miyares and Secretary of Public Service and Homeland Security Robert Mosier as well. #virginia |

Middle Resolution Session Update panel |
|
I had the honor of being on the Middle Resolution Session Update Panel with fellow members of the General Assembly, including Republican Senator Ryan McDoogle, Republican Delegate Buddy Fowler, and Republican Delegate Scott Wyatt. The Middle Resolution is doing great work to improve education and to preserve and protect our conservative values. Thank you! |
|
Under President Trump we had the strongest economy ever and with record unemployment. The Democrat Biden Administration wants to tax and spend us out of existence. The federal government is printing money so fast the value of the dollar keeps getting lower and lower and lower. Please vote Republican in November so we can get the majority back in Congress and stop wasteful government spending, unconstitutional mandates, and more. |
|
Isn't it great that we have a Governor who actually supports our Law Enforcement. Governor Youngkin kept another campaign promise by donating his first quarter salary to the Law Enforcement Assistance Fund. #backtheblue |

Redistricting chopped my House of Delegate District 56 into 5 pieces, and it took me away from over 90% of the people I've represented for the last 5 years. After much prayer and consideration, I announced that I am running for the new Senate District 10 seat. This will allow me to continue to serve most of you and to make many new friends. Our Virginia State Senate District 10 for 2023 signs are in, and as promised on the air, the first John McGuire for State Senate yard sign was put in the yard of radio talk show host, patriot, and former police officer, Jeff Katz. Together we will win the state Senate, "un-California Virginia", and help pass Governor Glenn Youngkin’s agenda. Thank you for your support!

My bill, HB 1128, which reduces taxes up to 40k on Veteran Retirement pay, is still in conference. We are still negotiating with the Democrat Senate and working to get it done! |
|
I attended a NASCAR race at Richmond Raceway with our Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, Speaker Todd Gilbert, Senator Ryan McDoogle, Delegate Scott Wyatt, and more. I have really enjoyed the relationships we’ve built over the last few years while helping improve economic development in Virginia. |
|
Meet JR and his car "Flik" JR infuses his excitement for Nascar racing and love of God to teach Christian Values and inspire others. Thank you for all you do to minister to our young people. You should zoom in and read the messages on his car. We are excited to have your support. |

Louisa High School FFA Highway Clean Up |
|
We picked up a lot of trash on Davis Highway in Mineral, Virginia, at the Louisa High School FFA Highway Clean Up and Alumni Mixer. This was a lot of fun working with young people and it gives me hope for the future. It has been an honor representing Louisa County for the last five years in the General Assembly. Thank you to the teachers, parents, FFL Officers, CTE folks, and other leaders for preparing our young people for life! #lionpride #virginia #proudtoserve |
|
Fentanyl Fatal Overdose Epidemic |
|
I submitted House Bill 108 this year, which would make it a felony Homicide for drug dealers to distribute fentanyl, resulting in drug users dying from an overdose. Unfortunately, Democrats in the House and the State Senate voted, “no”. There is a fatal overdose epidemic in our Commonwealth and Country. These drugs, which are manufactured in China, are coming across our southern border and killing Americans. Please vote Republican so we can stop drug dealers from poisoning our people.

This is outrageous! Can you believe that a Government website is encouraging Gender Confusion to both children and adults. On their website it says, “The mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans, by providing for effective health and human services, and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services.”

Louisa School Safety Task Force |
|
I’ve had the honor of being part of the Louisa County Safe Schools Task Force for over three years now, with teachers, law enforcement, counselors, and others. I gave our team a legislative update, with regard to the budget and legislation that impacts safe schools in Virginia. In many ways Louisa is setting the standard. Thank you, Superintendent Doug Straley and team, for all of your hard work. #lcps #virginia |
|
Tracy and I were proud to support the St. Mary's Catholic School fundraiser. What a wonderful way to support local students with my best friend! "Our Christ-centered approach to learning encourages responsibility, accountability, respect, and above all compassion for one another."

James River Republican Women |
|
We had a record turnout at the James River Republican Women’s meeting, where I gave a legislative update. Thank you, ladies, for all you do to support conservative values and to help get Republicans elected! |
|
I had the honor of speaking with homeschool parents and homeschool students all around my district on my experience as a Navy SEAL, and my continued service to our country in the General Assembly! I am a HUGE homeschool supporter, especially in this day and age, where our children are being taught woke ideologies and what to think. Thank God we have a Republican Governor, Glenn Youngkin, who will fight to teach our children how to think. |
|
I hope you and your family had a Happy Easter! Our son, Spencer, made it down from Washington D.C. to attend Church with us in Bowling Green, Virginia, where Tracy’s Dad taught us a Sunday School lesson on how Resurrection Sunday is the day the world was changed.
To all of our Jewish friends, we wish you a happy Passover!

“Exceeded Its Legal Power”. |
|
“Exceeded it’s legal power”. This is a recurring theme these days. Thank God US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle stood up and ruled the national public health agency had exceeded its legal powers in issuing the mandate. Her order on Monday effectively removes the masking requirement in all airports, trains, taxis and transit hubs. Uber has removed their mask requirement as well. |

Delegate Tim Anderson Visits Goochland County |
|
My friend and fellow Republican Delegate Tim Anderson and I gave fellow Goochlanders a legislative update. We covered several things, such as reducing Governor Emergency Executive Powers, the 2nd Amendment, the budget, law enforcement legislation, education, special session, and more. "I really liked Anderson… you two should campaign together more often as you play off each other very well and the information and humor was great!"
|
|
We've been doing meet and greets and meeting voters at other events in all 10 counties of the new Virginia State Senate District 10. I look forward to meeting you around the District! |

Breakfast with Sheriff Bill Kidd "Billy the Kid" Buckingham |
|
I enjoyed breakfast with Sheriff Kidd and friends in Buckingham County. If you get a chance, you should get a meal at Teresa's Place in Buckingham County.
|
|
I attended the Powhatan GOP committee meeting where they had huge attendance, discussed the 5th congressional district convention and I gave a legislative update! |
|
5th Congressional District |
|
I attended the fifth congressional district committee meeting. Our country is in big trouble and people are suffering due to radical leftist policies like open borders, defunding the police, over taxing and over spending, woke ideologies, and more. We have got to come together as a party and stop the craziness coming out of Washington! |
|
The flag ship vessel of Russia’s naval fleet the guided missile cruiser Moskva now rests at the bottom of the Black Sea. The last time a ship of this size was sunk in military conflict was in 1982 during the Falkland islands conflict. Please pray for the innocent people being killed or impacted by the war in Ukraine. |
|
Patriot Day Festival Cumberland County |
|
I enjoyed the very Pro American atmoshere at the Patriot Day Festival in Cumberland County. Thank you Sheriff Darrell Hodges for encouraging patriotism and for introducing me to many wonderful people of Cumberland County. |
|
House Caucus Chair Delegate Amanda Batten |
|
The Henrico GOP breakfast had over 90 people in attendance. House Caucus Chair Delegate Amanda Batten did a great job with her session update. In addition to my session update, Delegate Buddy Fowler, Supervisor Pat O'Bannon, 4th Congressional candidate Bishop Leon Benjamin, and Peter Foster speaking for Congressman Rob Wittman spoke. |
|
I had a great time at the Buckingham Car Show. These folks have a good time and raise money for a good cause to fight cancer. There are many ways to serve. Thank you and God Bless America! |
|
Lunch with Delegate Emily Brewer |
|
While in Suffolk, Virginia, I ran into a friend, our very own Republican Delegate Emily Brewer, also running for Virginia State Senate and her legislative aide, Camille Castleberry. It is a small world! |
|
Deputy Commissioner of Department of Labor and Industry |
|
I ran into our friend and Deputy Commissioner of Department of Labor and Industry Harold Pyon at the Capitol. He did a lot to help Governor Glenn Youngkin and the rest of the Republican ticket get elected in 2021. Thank you Sir! |
|
The Shilling Show 4/15/2022 |
|
As a current five-year member of the Virginia House of Delegates, I know first-hand how the media and radical leftist policies are dividing us and making the world less safe at the federal, state, and local levels. We must win back the Virginia State Senate in 2023. I invite you and your friends to join me in this cause. Please spread the word and I hope to see you around the district!
