SUPPORT PETER VOLOSIN FOR CONGRESS ON JUNE 12
GET INVOLVED
For many in our district, their future is still uncertain. My priority in Congress will be to create jobs for our region so that people can get ahead, not just get by. That means growing our own local industries - supporting small, hometown and high-growth businesses, which create good-paying jobs that stay rooted in our communities.
The bounty of the Blue Ridge has fed our families and the nation for generations. To ensure our soil continues to provide for years to come, we need to become leaders in agriculture by boldly shifting to new farming techniques that improve our produce and air quality. We need to help farmers transition to the latest technologies and techniques and promote farming to new generations.
Our mountains, rivers, and national parks are part of our identity, and this natural beauty is worthy of our protection. With better connections via rail, road and air, I envision a thriving eco-tourism industry with hikers, campers, and day-trippers seeking a natural, relaxing getaway. I want us to grow our own jobs here in the Blue Ridge, and that starts by protecting our environment and investing in infrastructure.
Healthcare should be affordable and accessible - end of story. In Congress, my first priority will be to stabilize the healthcare market. The efforts to "Repeal and Replace" without an actual replacement health system are wreaking havoc on premiums, and deductibles. Until Congress gets serious on healthcare, we'll pay more to get less. I will work to create a system that is affordable and protects, not preys on people.
For the Blue Ridge to thrive in our fast-paced, technological world, our children need to have a top-notch education - but one that doesn't pull families into insurmountable debt. My priority in Congress will be to support our public school systems. From pre-K to college, Congress needs to act now to make sure the American education system is world-class, affordable and relevant to the changing needs of our students.
