Our children are #1. There is no doubt America is experiencing a spiritual crises. Those who ridicule us for saying thoughts and prayers tells us much. The massacre that left 19 children and two adults dead in Texas is EXTREMELY heartbreaking. To succeed as a country we must be a moral nation. Evil does exist and we must be vigilant. Let's keep an eye on each other. If you see something, say something, and do something. The breakdown of the family, homes without a father, removal of prayer from school, and politicians who have declared war on our police have caused many of the problems we are experiencing. Next year I will again introduce my SRO (armed officer) requirement in every school bill (dems voted no) and will look into including a price cap for private schools to equal or not exceed what public schools pay, and more. Guns do not kill people, people kill people. England banned guns years ago yet London's murder rate exceeded New York in 2018 so the mayor banned knives read here.
I cannot imagine what the Robb Elementary School and Ulvade, TX community are feeling. PLEASE PRAY FOR THEIR FAMILIES and may God have mercy on us.

We would not have a country without our military. On Memorial Day we honor and remember U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. I hope you and your family have a good Memorial Day weekend. Never forget freedom isn't free and never forget the many men and women have given there all for us. |

Congratulations Bob Good on winning the nomination at the 5th Congressional District Convention. I had a great time meeting fellow conservatives from all over the district. |

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 to fight for our conservative values in Richmond. Inflation, rising gas prices, baby formula shortage, taxes, public safety, education, school choice, Ukraine, election integrity, infrastructure, rural broadband, healthcare, protecting the sanctity of life, protecting our Second Amendment, and more are on the minds of fellow Virginians. We must get people back to work. Governor Youngkin and the rest of us in the General Assembly are working diligently to address your concerns.
The increased cost of living is probably the #1 concern for fellow Virginians. The following March inflation numbers continue to climb: Overall CPI was up 8.5%, gas is close to 5 dollars, electricity is up 11.1%, meat poultry and fish are up 13.8%, milk is up 13.3% coffee is up 11.2%, used car prices up 35.3% and airline fares are up 23.6%.

We are still in special session and without a budget, and we still have bills in conference. Establishing the budget would have been done if we had a Republican State Senate, as most agree that we need: tax relief, 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.
Governor Glenn Youngkin’s goal with the Virginia’s budget is to designate $5 billion to provide cost-reducing, economy-growing tax relief directly to Virginians, and to use the remaining $9 billion to invest in making Virginia best-in-class. Local governments need a completed budget ASAP to continue to function. Click here for a story on the proposed budget to include a 4 billion dollar compromise, grocery Tax, Veteran retirement tax, and more.
FYI Governor Youngkin signed the 45 day limitation on emergency executive orders putting an end to the Governor Northam style 2 year emergency shut downs. HB 158 Click here
We are being told the Hyde Amendment, a legislative provision barring the use of federal funds to pay for abortion, except to save the life of the woman, or if the pregnancy arises from incest or rape, will be in the budget. I will keep you posted!
We are all proud to serve with Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin. We hope to complete the budget next Wednesday. Here is my April update, with some of the things on my mind, and what I've been up to around the district:
|
|
The report Governor Youngkin ordered on his first day in office is in, and the results aren't pretty. Said simply, Virginia has maintained an illusion of student achievement by easing standards and moving the goal posts on what constitutes adequate learning. The end result is that kids are being left behind, even while their parents think they're getting a solid education. We all knew we were in trouble when they wanted to get rid of advanced diplomas and called advanced classes racist. The good news is we passed a required parent consent bill for sexually explicit material. I'm running for state Senate so we can un- California Virginia and create the best education environment for students to achieve! |

State Senator & Fellow Veteran Dick Black |

It is an honor to have staunch conservative and fellow Veteran Senator Dick Black on my team for State Senate and his endorsement. Together we will un-California Virginia! |

Delegate Mike Cherry Fundraiser |
|
I attended the 26th Annual Legislative Breakfast fundraiser at the Keystone Antique Truck & Tractor Museum for our friend Delegate Mike Cherry! Governor Glenn Youngkin and Speaker Todd Gilbert spoke on session, progress made, and work to be done. Fellow Delegates Roxanne Robinson and Carry Coyner were there as well! |
|
News for those of us that are 100 % pro-life: According to a leaked draft majority opinion, the Supreme Court has voted to strike down the Roe v. Wade decision. If true, this is a huge victory for the sanctity of life. This unprecedented leak is dangerous to our democracy as it was most likely leaked to cause protests, impact elections, and attempt to change the SCOTUS opinion. Click here for the story.

|
It has been an honor working with our Virginia Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert and the rest of our caucus. We are working hard to improve Virginia!. |
|
Each year I have the honor of giving praise to our Lord and Savior with some amazing people in Louisa County on the National Day of Prayer. |

Benedictine Schools of Richmond Boxing Smoker |
|
The 12th annual Benedictine Schools of Richmond Boxing Smoker: Those who peddle in words like toxic masculinity prefer to weaken our country. Glad we have men like US Marine Jesse Grapes and many others on his team at Benedictine who set the example and understand America must have strong men to have a strong future. It starts with prayer. |

Friends of Scouting Dinner |
|
Last night I attended the Friends of Scouting Dinner at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. This is the council‘s primary means to raise the funds needed to support and grow Scout Programs for nearly 8000 scouts and adult volunteers across 24 counties and four cities in Central Virginia. #virginia |

Fellow Navy SEAL Kevin Lacz |
|
I had the honor of sharing a dinner table with fellow Navy SEAL Kevin Lacz at the Friends of Scouting dinner held downtown at the Greater Richmond Coliseum. Kevin served in Iraq with Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle (American Sniper) and the first of 9 young men my company SEAL Team Physical Training, Inc. and I helped successfully become Navy SEALs. Kevin delivered an incredible Keynote on service to others, work ethic, a positive mindset, and more. This amazing event raised almost $1 million to support and grow scout programs! #proudtoserve #virginia |

Congratulations Colonel Rusty McGuire |

So proud of my brother Colonel Rusty McGuire (Louisa County) for becoming commander of the 91st Cyber Brigade in the Virginia National Guard. I attended his change of command. We are thankful to all those who volunteer to serve our country and Commonwealth. #virginia |

Police Officer Memorial Day |
|
On #policeofficermemorialday we gathered in Louisa County to honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of their communities. #thinblueline #thankyou #virginia |
|
I’m running for VA State Senate so that we can un-California Virginia and stop the madness. We made a lot of friends and resolved a gazillion issues while serving you in House District 56. Unfortunately this district was chopped into five pieces. That’s OK, I will continue to fight for you in the Senate! David Botkins did a great job hosting a meet and greet for Congressman Rob Whitman! #virginia |

National Peace Officers Memorial Day |
|
In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. HCSO honors all those local, state and federal officers, to include their families, who paid the ultimate price in service to their community. Also, to honor those LEOs who lost their lives, deputies will be wearing mourning bands. |

Solar Farm Water Runoff Damage |
|
Louisa solar farm water runoff causes large land erosion issues. I spent a few hours touring five farms impacted by a 1200 acre solar farm in Louisa County. Not sure who approved this but I do know it will take leadership to make it right. These farmers are some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. They care about their land like any of us. We sat down under a tree at a picnic table, drank the best ice tea I’ve ever tasted, and discussed the erosion issue, fuel prices, fertilizer prices, and other issues drastically impacting farmers. I saw examples where a fence to keep cows contained has to be moved constantly due to erosion caused by increased water runoff. What do you think? |

Bishop E.W.Jackson’s S.T.A.N.D. Awards Dinner |
|
It is a huge honor having Bishop E.W. Jackson's endorsement for my state Senate race. Tracy and I attended Bishop E.W.Jackson’s S.T.A.N.D. Awards Dinner to honor American patriots who have been instrumental in serving their communities and our nation by taking a stand for faith and freedom and the values we hold dear. We celebrated accomplishments as a ministry. This event inspired us to take a stand for unity to preserve our freedom and the values that make America the greatest nation in history! Click here

Gas Tax Holiday Killed by Democrats in the Senate
Gas $4.29/ Gallon in Cumberland County
|
|
Radical leftist Democrats want to tax and spend the American people out of existence. Living in Virginia is wildly expensive and we have an unheard of $15 billion in extra in tax revenue. The cost of living is going up to include gas prices, food prices, home prices, car prices, fertilizer, and more. We tried to give Virginians a 90-day gas tax holiday, which would help everyone, especially our farmers. Unfortunately, the Gas Tax Holiday idea died in the Democrat-controlled State Senate. I’m running for State Senate so we can un-California Virginia. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your concerns around the district!
|
|
It is an honor to meet so many amazing people as I campaign around the district. Food shortages to include baby formula, higher taxes, rising gas prices, increased crime and more are making life difficult for us in Senate District 10. As your state senator no one will work harder for you to keep our community safe, get the government off your back and out of your pocket. #virginia |
|
After a very busy day, Tracy and I enjoyed some quality family time together! #lifeisgood #proudtoserve #virginia |

Governor Glenn Youngkin signed my bill HB 358 and 22 other veteran bills into law. It was great to stand with fellow veteran Lt.Gov Winsome Earle-Sears, AG Jason Miyares other legislators, my Legislative Aid Archer McGiffin, and veterans today. We would not have a country without our military men and women who sacrifice so much for freedom. The message is clear, we appreciate our veterans and when they retire we want them to stay in Virginia. We want Virginia to be the most veteran friendly state. Governor Youngkin also issued a proclamation honoring Armed Forces Day. A copy of the Armed Forces Day Proclamation can be found here: https://www.governor.virginia.gov/.../armed-forces-day.html

The Conservative Political Action Conference kicked off in Orlando, Florida in February under the banner of ‘Awake not Woke’— a theme that aims to hammer the left and serve as a starting point for Republicans ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. BTW Matt Schlapp & Congressman Jim Jordan awarded me one of the highest awards for Conservatism in Virginia at CPAC. The left is using many marxist tactics with their cancel culture such as erasing history, breaking down the nuclear family, removing monuments, changing school names, changing military base names, gender confusion especially in our schools, and much more. The good news is people are waking up. We had a record number of high school kids show up to CPAC to battle the war on gender and girls sports. How many of you saw 2000 Mules? Contact your local GOP and get involved so we can prevent what happened in 2020 with regard to election integrity. Together we can win big in the midterms and stop radical policies coming out of Washington.

During the so called Summer of love in 2020, where police were defunded by democrats and told to stand down, 25 people were killed by rioters and our cities were burned. Democrat leaders like VP Kamala Harris payed bail so rioters could get out of jail and continue to riot. I saw this hat at the fifth congressional district convention and it reminded me of the hypocrisy and how Ashley Babbitt was unarmed and murdered. |

5th Congressional Convention |
|
Congratulations to Bob Good for Congress on winning the nomination today at the 5th Congressional District Convention. I had a great time meeting so many of you at the convention. I saw my brother Rusty McGuire, Robert Tracci, and many others. |

On Armed Forces Day we honored the men and women who serve in our United States military. It was the honor of my life to serve our country in the United States Navy. To all those serving, thank you!
Per Governor Youngkin’s orders, the POW/MIA flag was flown with the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Virginia flags and was flown on all state and local buildings and grounds in the Commonwealth of Virginia Saturday, May 21st until sunset in respect of National Armed Forces Day.

Biological Men Cannot Have Babies |

Boebert: Anyone who says biological men can have babies is a lying dog-faced pony soldier. The world is not falling for the Gender Confusion BS.

My bill, HB 1128, which reduces taxes up to 40k on Veteran retirement pay. This bill is still in conference and we are still negotiating with the Democrat Senate. We hope to have this done next week. I will keep you updated! |

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! |
