Governor of Virginia - glenn youngkin

Mr. Youngkin ran to rebuild and reimagine Virginia into the best place in America to live, work and raise a family. Mr. Youngkin is not a politician. He is a homegrown Virginian and has spent the last 30 years raising his family, serving the church, building businesses and creating jobs. He is guided by  faith, conservative values, and an unshakeable belief that Virginia should be the best. He believes we have all been tested. When his dad lost his job, he starting washing dishes at a diner to help out and worked hard to earn a basketball scholarship to pay for school. Guided by faith and a firm belief in hard work, he has spent the last 30 years creating jobs and growing businesses, while with the help of his wife Suzanne raising 4 great kids,

When COVID-19 hit Virginia, Glenn and Suzanne founded the Virginia Ready Initiative, a nonprofit, public-private partnership dedicated to helping Virginians who are out-of-work get the training they need to secure in-demand jobs.  To date, roughly 2,000 Virginians have started the journey with VA  Ready, preparing for a new career and new life. When crisis strikes, Glenn doesn’t just talk – he acts.

Political insiders and career politicians in Richmond are failing our Commonwealth with lives lost, businesses closed, jobs lost, and our basic rights challenged like never before. Mr. Youngkin believes that together, we can bring a new day to Virginia with fresh ideas, shared values, and innovative solutions to rebuild and reimagine Virginia's future.

It's on these values, which we all share - HARD WORK, FAMILY, FAITH - that we will rebuild Virginia to be the best, and that is what he will fight for as Governor. On day one, Glenn will bring  to the Governor’s Office 30 years of successful, real-world business  experience, to rebuild a better Virginia for everyone who calls it home.  He’s answering the call to serve his community. It’s time for a new day in Virginia.

Former Delegate  Jason Miyares is an example of President Ronald Reagan’s "Shining City  upon a Hill." His story begins with his mother, Miriam Maria Miyares, who fled communist Cuba in 1965 with the clothes on her back and no idea  from where her next meal would come. She legally immigrated to the  United States and instilled in her three sons a passionate love of the  freedom and democracy of America. Miyares grew up in Virginia Beach,  attending local public schools and growing up in a middle-class  household that emphasized the values of hard work, love of country, and  service above self.

Above  all, his mother’s story of losing everything she owned to the horrors of  socialism taught Jason Miyares firsthand the truth of Ronald Reagan’s  maxim that “freedom is never more than one generation away from  extinction… it must be fought for, protected and handed on…..”

That truth animates Jason Miyares’ service as a prosecutor, leader and Delegate.​

In  November of 2015, he won the open seat to the 82nd District for the  House of Delegates by the widest margin in the district's history while  becoming the first Cuban-American ever elected to the Virginia General  Assembly. Jason Miyares has brought commonsense conservative leadership  and accountability to Richmond while fighting for fiscal discipline and  government transparency.
​
In the  House of Delegates, Miyares has been a conservative voice in Richmond,  standing up against the Defund the Police movement and proudly standing  with our law enforcement community.  He serves on the General Laws,  Courts of Justice and Transportation Committees, where he has worked to  build smarter, more accountable government working on transparency and  regulatory reform.  Recognized as a “Champion of Free Enterprise” by the  Virginia Chamber of Commerce, Delegate Miyares has consistently opposed  higher taxes and regulations that make it hard for small business  owners to expand and thrive. In 2019, Miyares advanced landmark  legislation that makes it easier for small business owners to provide  childcare services as a benefit to their employees. A former prosecutor  (Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney) for the City of Virginia Beach,  Miyares worked to keep our most violent criminals off our streets and  our families safe.​

While campaigning, Jason stated that as Attorney General, "As a former prosecutor I’ve been on the front lines protecting our communities and putting violent criminals behind bars and I know the devastating impact soft on criminals policies have. We need an Attorney General who will work with our law enforcement officers, not against them. I’ll defend the police, not defund them, – and give them the tools to do their job.  In Richmond they’re trying to expose police officers to bankrupting lawsuits for doing their jobs. And in Northern Virginia, they’re pulling police resource officers out of schools."

Furthermore he stated, "Virginia needs an Attorney General who will defend the rule of law and the importance of policing.  I’ll defend our constitution – and oppose left-wing radicals who try to get around it.  We need an Attorney General whose top priority is protecting our communities. Making our communities safe will be my top priority.  I believe all Virginians want safe neighborhoods for our kids. They want violent criminals to remain behind bars. And they want to stand with our law enforcement officers working to keep our communities safe."
