Reaser is a fierce advocate for women's rights, firmly opposing attacks on abortion access from the Supreme Court and Virginia's Republican legislature. As Delegate, she will be dedicated to preserving a woman's right to choose when to start a family and will fight for a constitutional amendment to protect this right. She is committed to combating pregnancy discrimination in the workplace, advocating for affordable and accessible birth control, and championing equal pay to ensure gender equality and empowerment for all women.
Reaser prioritizes the urgent need to address gun violence, especially its impact on children. She advocates for comprehensive measures, including safe storage legislation, banning ghost guns and assault weapons, and enhancing background checks. Reaser also emphasizes the importance of better enforcement of laws that enable temporary gun confiscation from individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others. Her dedication to sensible gun safety policies aims to create a safer environment for all Virginians, especially our most vulnerable populations.
Addressing climate change is a top priority for Atoosa Reaser, as she recognizes its grave impact on our communities and future generations. Her track record on the School Board reflects support for initiatives like expanding electric charging stations and the electric bus fleet.

Harnisch supports funding law enforcement and increasing police offers despite their continuous threat to communities of color and complete lack of accountability for their actions. He supports using AI in order to enhance public saftey, an extremely dangerous stance and would only lead to more violence and targeting towards Blacks and people of color. He has no plan to contribute to climate justice or the growing attacks against abortion access and reproductive justice.

He is against tuition increases at Virginia public universities and wants to decrease hidden fees and taxes on students.
Delegate Reid grew up without healthcare, and he knows the importance of affordable access to medical care.

He also believes that trans kids should not be able to participate in school sports.
Due to his support of the environment, affordable healthcare, public education, and Virginia working families, Delegate David Reid is the most progressive choice for Virginia’s 28th District.
