Issues at a Glance

         Voter Guide – click here!

       Scott Lingamfelter, Republican incumbent, has developed a reputation as a pro-life leader with a conservative voting record.  His pro-family rating was 100% in ’03. He voted to repeal the “death tax,” voted against the Sales Tax increase referenda, and he favors revenue-neutral revisions to the Tax Code.  He voted to allow our national motto “In God We Trust” in public buildings, and to increase penalties for child porn. He voted for parental consent before a minor’s abortion, for a ban on partial birh abortions, for higher health and safety standards in abortion clinics, to stop taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood, against increasing state regulation of private and home schoolers, and for school choice scholarships for low income students. He pledges to oppose tax increases.  He favors limiting growth of spending to inflation plus population growth, 2nd Amendment rights, reducing the family tax burden, and he opposes the gay agenda and taxpayer funding of abortions.  For more information, see his Issues Survey response and his website under Issues.

        David Brickley, the Democrat challenger, is a former Delegate whose pro-family ratings were 29% in ’95 and 42% in ’97.  He voted against increasing Virginia’s low personal income tax exemption to compensate for inflation, against providing liability insurance for teachers, and for charter schools.  He voted for a ban on partial birth abortions, but against parental notification before a minor’s abortion, against a casino gambling referendum, to ban same-sex marriages, to prohibit child custody by gays, to require parental consent for a minor’s drug treatment, and against making it a crime to knowingly assist another person to commit suicide.  Details regarding his positions on tax increases, transportation funding, property tax limits, 2nd Amendment rights, education issues, Tax Code revisions and other key family impact issues are not readily available.  Waiting for his Issues Survey response.  To send a reminder Email to Mr. Brickley, see below.  Please check back.
