If using public funds to mislead the public on an issue was a major felony, Andrew Bailey himself would be behind bars for his various misrepresentations of fact.

“Adams and Jefferson constantly talked about virtue, and what virtues would help mold our anti-monarchical society. Trump, who plays at being a king, is not interested in virtue; only in humiliation, conflict, enrichment and revenge.”

During my time in Congress, it didn’t matter what side of the aisle people sat on — I was willing to work with anyone to ban Members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks.
As your next Governor, my approach will be no different. I'll clean up corruption and make Richmond work for you.
