Campaign themes
2015
Foreman issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | I am a politician committed to always placing the citizens’ interests first. The market and people should drive the economy not government manipulation and interference. Every election is about the future and this race will be no different. I want to build a Virginia that challenges citizens to change their communities for the better. We need more people in the legislature who can identify what is right with our State and build on its strengths to make it better, and not just identify what is wrong and criticize it.
This race has to be more than serving one political party; there is clearly more than one interest in the 36th District. Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties have common concerns that cross county lines; however, not one solution applies to each geographic area. The answer will be working with local governments, business owners, property owners, residents and special interest groups to apply the correct resolution. [3] |
