building consensus on the issues we all care about

Fighting for a Lower Cost of Living

With an ever increasing cost of living, we must do everything we can to support Virginia families.  We must lower the tax burden on working families- from the gas pump to groceries. We must bring down healthcare cost through innovation.


Ian will fight back against our rising cost of living.


  • Over Regulation and red tape that tie small business owners’ hands and increase the cost of goods and services on our families
  • Oppose Richmond’s out-of-control taxation that is punishing hard-working families. 
  • Repeal the personal property tax (car tax)
  • Oppose regulations that increase the cost of utilities
  • Oppose excessive tolls in NOVA
  • Your money is best kept in your wallet, rather than the government’s, and once elected, he will sponsor legislation to cut taxes.

Leading in Education

I've spent years working with teachers, parents and the broader community - As a Delegate,  City Councilman- and also as President of the Manassas City Public Schools Education Foundation.  What my experience has taught is that policies that empower parents and teachers are always best- and top down bureaucracy should be avoided.  We must also work to support the entire education continuum - from our public schools to our home school students.      

  • Support innovation in under-performing School Districts  
  • Empower parents to guide their children's education        
  • Give teacher's greater freedom to innovate and work with parents to respond to unique needs of each student     
  • Promote "truth in advertising" in higher education- so students know the clear cost of their education and earning potential for their degree      
  • Support student safety through a universal SRO programs
  • Support student safety through improved access to mental health resources community wide 
  • Champion career and technical education     
  • Support wrap-around and out of school programing    
  •  Support college partnership LAB schools

Keeping our Communities Safe

Ensuring public safety is one of the top priorities of government at any level.  We should strive to have the best paid, best trained and most respected law enforcement officers in the nation.  


  • Removing gang members, especially MS13, from our community.
  • We must never give in to partisan calls to defund the police.  
  • We must encourage community policing
  • Ensure any school that wants an SRO has access to one 
  • Give law enforcement the right tools to help keep our communities safe.  
  • Must grow and fortify programs like Operation Ceasefire (even against Senate opposition)
  • Restore rebuttable presumption that people held on trial for certain serious, dangerous crimes such as murder are not eligible for bail.
  • Continue to pass legislation that will hold fentanyl dealers truly accountable for the lives they take
  • Support the Governors efforts in ending human trafficking in Virginia and follow recommendations of the Human Trafficking Commission Final Report Recommendations including:
  • Remove any person convicted of a felony offense involving a firearm from eligibility form enhanced earned sentence credits 
  • Higher mandatory sentences for gun crimes (defeated in senate)


Defunding the police means higher crime rates. Ian will back the blue and work to ensure our brave men and women in law enforcement have the funds and resources they need to keep our families and community safe. Ian will also repeal soft-on-crime legislation passed in Richmond.

Our Neighborhoods Can't Wait

Prince William County is home to beautiful 

national parks, family farms, scenic views 

and recreation. Ian will work to preserve our 

open spaces, especially the rural crescent, 

and support responsible growth 

that preserves open lands.


We need to preserve residential neighborhoods and the rural crescent by:

  • Updating regulations on noise and visual impacts so development cannot interfere with residential neighborhoods
  • Ensure historic, natural and agricultural resources are protected
  • Understand all short term and long term impacts (water, electrical) 
  • Focus on broad economic development of small businesses rather than putting all our eggs in one basket with one industry

A Strong Economy for All

 As an entrepreneur, inventor and  owner of a national recruitment firm Ian  knows what it's like to create jobs and help people find them.


Ian brings this experience to Richmond and fight for jobs and a thriving economy so that every Virginian has an opportunity to excel.


We must:

  • We must reduce regulations/red tape on our small businesses so we maintain our business ranking
  •  Virginia ranks 26th in the nation when it comes to business tax climate.  We must lighten the tax burden on job creators.
  • BPOL must be reformed to apply only to net revenue, not gross revenue
  • Ensure state economic development resources go to support small businesses as much as they do larger ones
  • Remove college degree requirement from all state jobs that do not absolutely need them

Traffic Can't Wait

  • Support smart growth in the region opposing excessive high density development where infrastructure cannot support it
  • Support continuation and expansion of remote work culture
  • Ensure our region receives its fair share of transportation tax dollars
  • Support widening of Rt. 28 and Godwin Extension
  • Support VRE upgrades and expansion to include weekend service  

Fighting for our Veterans

Virginia is home to nearly 800,000 veterans- and many live and work in the 22nd House of Delegates District.  We owe our active duty and former military, reservists, Nation Guard and their families not only our sincere gratitude but a clear plan of action to make Virginia the number one state in the Union for veterans.
Supporting Veterans and helping them find jobs is one reason I started Reliant Hiring Solutions- Veteran focused hiring remains one of our top priorities.

  • Improve the transfer of military training to civilian certification
  • Support veterans and mental health dockets in Virginia Courts
  • Support and expand Virginia's Veteran's Care Centers
  • Build partnerships to establish Veteran's legal and benefits clinics in all regions

Consensus Can't Wait

Ian knows that we can both protect babies and support women.  He supports commonsense consensus to protect life at 15 weeks - when a baby can begin to feel pain- while preserving exceptions for cases of rape, incest and the life/health of the mother.


Ian knows that by working together we CAN build a consensus that speaks with Virginia's voice.

  • Expand adoption services and counseling for expecting mothers
  • Support new mothers in need with pregnancy expenses and services
  • Require fathers to pay child support to single mothers during pregnancy
