As a steadfast conservative, Chris Runion is deeply committed to the principles that have long defined and strengthened our communities in Virginia. He believes in limited government intervention, fiscal responsibility, and upholding constitutional freedoms, including the Second Amendment. Chris’s conservative approach is rooted in a profound respect for individual liberties, free-market principles, and traditional values. He advocates for policies that empower families and businesses, rather than constrain them, and champions a vision of government that serves the people, not the other way around.

I believe that life begins at conception. I will continue to work towards ending abortion in Virginia. I will oppose your tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood.

I am a champion of the Second Amendment. I will continue to fight against those who are trying to infringe on your rights. I support Constitutional Carry and I am a proud member of the NRA, VCDL and NAGR.

I know that with the rising cost of inflation, your families, as well as my family, have been impacted by the failures of the Democrat leadership. That is why I will continue to work to cut taxes and red tape. I will stand up for our families, farmers and entrepreneurs to end regressive taxes. I trust that you, the people, can optimize funds in a way that better supports your family needs.

The education crisis in Virginia needs to be addressed now! We need to encourage improving the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic, support career and technical education and provide our youth with more agricultural education opportunities.

The Democrat leadership has allowed for millions of tax dollars to be spent teaching our youth extreme ideologies related to gender identity and critical race theories, as well as the erasing of American history. This needs to stop.

As Delegate, I have seen firsthand the failures of the mental health challenges that veterans and others in our community are facing. My office has been working with constituents in the district to connect them with needed services.

I believe that we should continue to reduce the stigma around mental health so that those who need treatment will seek assistance. Our current Republican leadership has made great progress in improving resources and programs in the area of behavioral health. I am proud to support those efforts but there is more work to be done.

The Democrats continue to abuse their powers to change election laws in Virginia. I am wholeheartedly against it. I support common-sense measures, like reinstating voter identification, signature verification on absentee ballots and ending mass mail-in voting. Taking steps like these will ensure that we conduct our elections with integrity in the future.

As Delegate, fighting for the family farm is a priority. I will continue to vote against regulations that are detrimental to the economic interest of our agricultural partners. I will support legislation prohibiting foreign entities from purchasing farmland in Virginia.
