A Tax Relief Plan That Benefits Everyone.

Life’s gotten expensive, and working people feel it most.

Groceries, rent, car repairs, even secondhand essentials are costing more than ever, while corporate loopholes and sweetheart deals stay wide open.

My tax relief plan is built on one simple idea: fairness.

If something helps you live, work, or get where you need to go, you shouldn’t be punished for it.

Here’s how we fix that:

 

No Tax on Tomatoes • Tax-Free Fresh Food

Nobody should pay extra just to feed their family.

My plan eliminates the grocery tax on real, healthy food — fruits, vegetables, milk, bread, eggs, and other fresh essentials — while keeping it on junk food and processed snacks.

Because survival isn’t a luxury, and eating healthy shouldn’t come with a price tag.

 

No Tax on Old Threads and Toasters • Tax-Free Used Goods

Virginia shouldn’t double-tax the things we’ve already paid for once.

Under my proposal, used clothing and household goods would be exempt from sales tax.

Buying secondhand saves families money, keeps usable items out of landfills, and supports local thrift and resale shops.

That’s good for your wallet, and good for the planet.

 

Everyday Wheels Act • Real Car Tax Relief

For most families, a car isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifeline.

The Everyday Wheels Act would eliminate the personal property tax on a household’s first vehicle, while keeping it in place for second and luxury vehicles.

That means real relief for workers, students, and parents who depend on their car to get to work, school, the doctor or the grocery store.

 

Fairness First

This plan is about priorities.

While big corporations and monopolies get special treatment, families are being nickel-and-dimed at every turn.

My tax relief plan helps everyone.

It rewards work, supports community businesses, and puts money back where it belongs: in your pocket.
