ON THE ISSUES
Delegate Walker has a proven conservative track record in the House of Delegates. He has been a consistent fighter for a government that serves the people and supports our families and communities. Wendell is running to continue his service to you and Central Virginia. He fights for our conservative values and the better Virginia our families deserve:
Empowering Students and Parents
Providing our children with an excellent education is one of the most critical investments we can make in our future.

He’s committed to ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education that meets their individual needs. In Richmond, Wendell will continue to fight to empower students and parents.
Under previous administrations, Virginia's education system has fallen behind due to low standards and school closures, resulting in a decline in the quality of education available to our children. The result has been that fundamental concepts like math, science, and history have taken a backseat to political agendas. Wendell is committed to reversing this trend and ensuring that Virginia's education system is second to none.
Parents play a vital role in their children's education, and Wendell believes that they should have a voice in what their children are taught. He understands that education is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and every child's needs are unique. Therefore, he supports expanding parental choice in education to give parents the freedom to choose the best educational path for their children.
Strengthening Public Safety

These foundational principles should guide our decisions as a society and in the General Assembly, he has been a steadfast advocate for policies that support these values.
Wendell believes that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the bedrock of our democracy and that every citizen has the right to enjoy the freedoms and liberties guaranteed by these founding documents.
