Campaign website

De la Pena's campaign website stated the following:

Immigration:
When Sergio immigrated legally, he learned English and assimilated. He supports building a wall to stop illegal immigration, and making English the official language. Sergio would eliminate taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants in Virginia like in-state college tuition and drivers licenses for illegals.

Law Enforcement:
Sergio supports fully funding police and law enforcement and arresting and prosecuting violent criminals, looters, and rioters.

Second Amendment:
As a military veteran and gun owner, Sergio strongly supports the right to bear arms. He would end the ability of local jurisdictions to override conceal carry laws so Virginia’s concealed carry laws would apply statewide for all gun owners and protect their rights.

Term Limits:
Sergio is a political outsider who’s never run for office, and supports term limits to get rid of career politicians in both parties.

Jobs & Economy:
Sergio’s Jobs Plan makes Virginia attractive for businesses to grow private sector jobs and eliminate burdensome regulations. Richmond politicians have failed to restart the economy because they do not understand that it is the American values of freedom and competition that make economies thrive and not government central planning. Sergio will restart the economy by creating an open and competitive economic environment so Virginians can get back to work.

COVID19:
Sergio will end the COVID lockdowns and open up the economy, schools, and churches. Nationally, liberals have forced unfair and ineffective rules that they themselves ignore. We need a balanced approach that will open up our economy while protecting the most vulnerable.

Taxes & Spending:
Virginia’s taxes are too high. Sergio will cut the car tax, property taxes, and income taxes. Richmond politicians spend on pet projects while demanding hard-working Virginians pay higher taxes for special interest giveaways. Sergio will stand up to politicians in both parties who spend too much on their friends and make Virginians pick up the tab.

Pro-Life:
As a father of five, Sergio believes in the sanctity of life and champions an agenda that will protect the unborn.[2]
