Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Jason they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

How to reach him:

Capitol Office
804 698 1042

What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.

The latest from Jason

“Guided by his faith, Jason believes that life begins at conception. He believes it is the duty of the government to protect society’s most vulnerable from persecution. As a Delegate, and as a Christian, Jason will fight to protect life and put an end to draconian abortion practices. Through increased funding for pregnancy centers that encourage life and a 15-week abortion ban, Jason will always support legislation that will protect society’s voiceless. A defender of life, Jason has co-patroned legislation requiring informed consent before an abortion and born-alive protections for infants after failed abortions. Jason’s commitment to life is one that transcends the womb and fights for the necessary resources for the success of the child and mother after the child is born.”
