Repost from The Virginia Star.
Crystal Vanuch is running for the GOP nomination in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, and wants to bring a focus on six issues: the economy and energy independence; border security; constitutional protections in the wake of COVID-19 mandates; public safety; transportation; and veterans’ issues.
“As soon as I get to Congress, I’m going to be pushing forward specific things to address the economy,” Vanuch told The Virginia Star. “So from a budget perspective, and an American policy perspective, the number one thing I want to do is deregulate. The Biden administration signed executive orders to increase regulation and undid a lot of the Trump-era regulations that loosened up the economy.”
Her approach to economic issues includes solving supply chain problems, bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., “stopping reckless spending”; and supporting energy independence. On the border, she wants to support keeping Title 42 in place, and improving Customs and Border Patrol resources, continue the remain-in-Mexico policy, and revoke the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum-without-court policy. She wants to see tax deductions for law enforcement, and committed to opposing “unfunded mandates that talk about data collection.”
Vanuch wants to support state and local control over COVID-19 policy.
“So what I was disappointed with is congressional individuals not pushing back to the CDC and other federal agencies that were exhibiting overreach,” she said.
