This week, I turn to crime and immigration, two issues that speak directly to the safety and security of our families. But before diving into policy, it’s essential to take a moment to examine the broader picture, including the kind of leadership being offered by those who oppose our vision for Virginia. Context matters, and voters deserve

to know not just the policies being proposed but the character of those proposing them.

While I am confident that our policies can stand on their own merit—particularly when it comes

to securing our borders, stopping illegal immigration, and confronting rising crime—it is also necessary to look at the man leading the charge against them. Jay Jones, the Democrat candidate for Attorney General, was once revealed to have wished death upon a political

opponent and his small children, cruelly referring to them as “little fascists.” Political disagreements are part of the American way; our democracy thrives because we can engage in spirited but respectful debate. What is not acceptable, however, is calling for the murder of

political opponents or their families. That kind of rhetoric is not only disgraceful, it is corrosive to the very fabric of our nation and, in my opinion, should disqualify you from candidacy as the top

cop of Virginia.

We have already witnessed the real-world consequences of this type of reckless language. It fuels hatred, sows division, and tears communities apart. We’ve seen what happens when rage replaces reason—the same destructive mindset that led to the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk and the near-assassination of our President, not once, but twice. America cannot afford to continue down this path. It is time to reject the politics of rage and return to politics of reason, civility, and compassion. Our neighbors are not our enemies, and we can disagree without dehumanizing one another. The choice before voters this year is whether to continue the dangerous slide into hate-fueled politics—or to restore a culture of decency, accountability, and solutions.

Beyond his rhetoric, Jay Jones’ record speaks for itself. In 2018, he voted against House Bill 1257, which would have prohibited sanctuary cities in Virginia—an essential step in protecting

the rule of law. He has openly opposed ICE and supported policies that obstruct the lawful deportation of individuals who entered the country illegally. In sharp contrast, Attorney General Jason Miyares has worked closely with President Trump and federal law enforcement to remove dangerous MS-13 gang members and other violent offenders from our communities. His results prove that Republicans don’t just talk about law and order—they deliver it.

Miyares’ leadership extends well beyond immigration enforcement. His Operation Ceasefire initiative has helped reduce violent crime across Virginia’s cities, demonstrating his commitment

to keeping our neighborhoods safe. Jay Jones, on the other hand, has consistently supported soft-on-crime measures during his time in the House of Delegates. He voted for HB 257, which ended mandatory reporting of sexual battery in schools, and sponsored HB 1532, which allowed for early release of convicted criminals. These actions make clear where his priorities lie—not with victims, but with offenders.

The contrast between the two visions could not be more striking. Republicans stand firm for law

and order, secure borders, and safe neighborhoods. Democrats continue to push policies that weaken our justice system and open the door to lawlessness and illegal immigration. This election is not simply about party lines—it’s about protecting our families, preserving our

communities, and defending the values that make Virginia strong. Voters have a choice: strong

leadership that delivers results, or weak leadership that puts us all at risk.
