We helped more than 1, Virginia small businesses survive. As a serial entrepreneur, Pete knows a thing or two about small business. Career politicians in Richmond picked winners and losers — essential and non-essential businesses — which destroyed lives, and the dreams of families and entrepreneurs across the Commonwealth. In response, Pete and his wife Burson launched the Virginia 30 Day Fund, a non-profit whose sole mission is to save as many small businesses and Virginia jobs as possible by providing fully-forgivable loans for small businesses in need.
They were able to raise millions of dollars to help small businesses across the state, and ultimately, the country. Making Virginia More Competitive: Pete is committed to making Virginia the best place to launch and run a business.
Richmond spent deeming some businesses essential and others as unessential. This must end.

Implement and Amendment to the Virginia Constitution Requiring a Supermajority to Raise Taxes Raising taxes has wide-ranging ramifications for both businesses and families. Pete supports changing Virginia laws to force any proposed tax hike to have support from a supermajority in the House of Delegates.
Making Tax Code More Competitive with Other States Far too many Virginia businesses have been forced to leave Virginia for our neighbors like North Carolina and Tennessee as they grow and expand because of our uncompetitive tax code. Pete will make Virginia competitive and attractive to continue to get the government out of the way of job creators.

Pete believes the Second Amendment is for more than just hunting. It is to protect ourselves, our family, our property, and our liberty. Pete will stand-up to the radicals like Northam and McAuliffe, who are trying to seize control and take away your Second Amendment rights. It is essential that Virginia protects and restores the Second Amendment rights of Virginians while keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, children, and the mentally ill. And as your next governor, I am going to protect life at every single turn.
Pete will stand up to the radicals in Richmond who are advocating for abortion, some even pushing for late-term abortion and infanticide. Northam was caught on tape explaining how this barbarism would happen. Democrats no longer pretend to be moderate on the issue of abortion. In January , Governor Snyder declared a state of emergency over elevated lead levels in the drinking water in Flint, Michigan.
On January 7, Snyder refused to say when he knew the Flint water crisis was being mishandled. The crisis began when Flint switched water sources in April to cut costs and resulted in children being poisoned by the lead in the water. An internal email obtained by Virginia Tech researchers showed that the governor's office knew months prior about the problem; Snyder's then-chief of staff Dennis Muchmore mentioned his frustration over the issue in July.
In response to a question at the January press conference, held with the mayor of Flint, Snyder said, "We want to work closely together to earn the trust of the people of Flint.

Snyder had opposition to the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the state of Michigan. He said the state would "put on hold our efforts to accept new refugees Michigan is a welcoming state and we are proud of our rich history of immigration.
But our first priority is protecting the safety of our residents. On January 15, , Snyder opposed Republican legislators and the National Rifle Association NRA by vetoing a state Senate provision that would have expanded eligibility for concealed weapon permits.
Senate Bill , sponsored by state Sen. Mike Green R , included a provision allowing applicants under personal protection orders to receive permits as long as they were eligible for permits and gun ownership was not restricted by existing orders. Snyder faced pressure from Democratic legislators including U.
Debbie Dingell and former U. Gabrielle Giffords to veto the measure. This opposition centered on potential access to concealed weapons by perpetrators of domestic abuse.
Supporters of the bill including the NRA argued that felony convictions for domestic violence would invalidate concealed weapon access. They also noted that personal protection orders are issued under less rigorous standards than other judgments. In vetoing Senate Bill , Snyder stated, "There are certainly some reforms that can improve the way Michigan issues concealed pistol licenses and we support the rights of law-abiding firearm owners, but it's crucial that we leave in place protections for people who already have endured challenges and abuse.

We're moving forward with care for people who need it," he said to a coalition of groups advocating for Michigan's inclusion in the optional federal program.

A June analysis by The Business Journals ranked 45 governors based on the annual private sector growth rate in all 50 states using data from the U. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Snyder was ranked number 9. A great leader treats people with respect even when they present different opinions. Without a variety of views and opinions, we would have no innovation or creativity in our nation.
Being a bully and being strong are not the same thing. Being strong is standing up for your convictions. Being a bully is trying to intimidate those who are perceived to be weaker or a threat. As a proud nerd, I had to deal with bullies over many years; it is tragedy watching our world suffer from one. Facts and science matter. Good decisions should be based on facts and supported by sound scientific theory whenever possible. President Trump also has demonstrated that he does not fully appreciate public policy matters, including public health, the economy and foreign relations, nor does he seem to want to learn.
