Governor-Elect Glenn Youngkin’s “Day One Game Plan”
Cut Costs For Virginians –
The cost of living is rising for Virginians, and people are leaving the Commonwealth to look for jobs and start lives elsewhere. Glenn will tackle the rising cost of living and cut costs for Virginians by:
- Eliminating Virginia’s Grocery Tax & Suspending the Recent Gas Tax Hike for 12 Months
- Providing a One Time Tax Rebate of $600 for Joint Filers and $300 for Individuals
- Ending Runaway Property Taxes by Requiring Voter Approval for Increases
- Cutting Income Taxes by Doubling the Standard Deduction & Cutting Taxes on Veteran Retirement Pay
Keep Our Communities Safe –
Failed leadership and dangerous policies have left Virginia less safe. With rising violent crime and the murder rate at a 20-year high, Glenn will keep our communities safe by:
- Fully Funding Law Enforcement & Protecting Qualified Immunity for our Law Enforcement Heroes
- Firing the Parole Board & Keeping Violent Criminals Off Our Streets
- Launching #UnityInTheCommunity Programs Operation Ceasefire & Project Exile
- Fixing Our Broken Mental Health System
Reinvigorate Job Growth –
Add 400,000 Jobs & 10,000 Startups: Virginia’s jobs machine is broken. After zero job growth from 2013 through 2020, Virginia currently ranks 44th in job recovery during the pandemic and was recently ranked as the 49th best state to start a business. Glenn will jumpstart our economy by:
- Keeping Virginia Open and Protecting Lives & Livelihoods
- Protecting Virginians from Forced Unionization & Cutting Job Killing Regulations by 25%
- Launching #JumpstartJobs to Develop Talent, Train Workers, Attract Investment, & Make Virginia the Easiest State to Start a Business
- Reinvigorate Small Business by Enacting a Small Business Tax Holiday & End the Tax on Rebuild VA and PPP Loans
Restore Excellence In Education –
Virginia’s students have fallen behind because of extended school closings, lower school standards, and political agendas. Glenn will empower parents and restore excellence and commonsense in education by:
- Keeping Schools Open Safely Five Days a Week
- Restoring High Expectations & Getting Every Student College or Career Ready
- Ridding Political Agendas from the Classroom by Banning Critical Race Theory
- Rebuilding Crumbling Schools, Raising Teacher Pay, & Investing in Special Education Programs
- Creating at least 20 New Innovation Charter Schools across the K-12 Spectrum to Provide Choice
Make Government Work For You –
Virginia’s government is failing its fundamental mission – serving the people. Our system is broken as customer service at agencies such as the DMV and VEC disappears. Glenn will make government work by:
- Fixing the DMV & the Virginia Employment Commission
- Protecting our Constitutional Rights
- Conducting a Statewide Transparency Audit to Root out Waste, Fraud & Abuse
- Restoring Photo ID Laws & Making it Easy to Vote and Hard to Cheat
- Investing More Money in Roads & Highways
- Completing Long-Delayed Environmental Projects
OUR PLATFORM
Republicans believe in liberty, economic prosperity, preserving American values and traditions, and restoring the American dream for every citizen of this great nation. As a party, we support policies that seek to achieve those goals.
Our platform is centered on stimulating economic growth for all Americans, protecting constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms, ensuring the integrity of our elections, and maintaining our national security. We are working to preserve America’s greatness for our children and grandchildren.
The Republican Party’s legacy — we were originally founded in 1854 for the purpose of ending slavery — compels us to patriotically defend America’s values. As the left attempts to destroy what makes America great, the Republican Party is standing in the breach to defend our nation and way of life.
As a unit of the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV), the Fairfax County Republican Committee’s values guide us in seeking greater individual freedom, less intrusive government, healthy families and growing economies, as we work on issues of importance to voters in Fairfax: strong education, lower taxes and the cost of living in Fairfax County, and public safety.
