Grassroots Campaigns is excited about our new Get Out The Vote project with Northern Virginia Candidate Lee Carter!
Lee Carter is the Democratic candidate running for the Virginia House of Delegates in the 50th district, which includes the city of Manassas and Bristow. He is a father, husband, Veteran and dedicated member of his community!
Some of Lee’s Views on Key Issues:
Women’s Rights
Lee is an unapologetic supporter of a woman’s right to choose, and will never support legislation that limits women’s access to healthcare. He will also continue the fight for pay-equity, workplace rights, and increased protection from domestic violence and sexual assault.t;
Criminal Justice Reform
Lee supports criminal justice reform that puts fewer people behind bars for nonviolent crimes, focuses on rehabilitation over incarceration,and is less harmful to minority communities.
Campaign Finance Reform
Lee has taken a pledge in this campaign to not accept money from for-profit corporate donors. He is a firm believer in campaign finance reform that emphasizes transparency and ensures Virginians know who is funding their representatives in Richmond.
The Environment
Lee knows that if we are going to protect our world for generations to come, we need to act now on green energy projects and rethink transportation. Lee is in favor of expanding the Virginia Railway Express to limit congestion and put less cars on the road, and expanding our investment in the Green Energy Economy.
Healthcare
As a delegate, Lee will be a leading voice for Medicaid Expansion in Virginia. Partisan opposition to this important step is hurting 300,000 Virginians who make too much to qualify for Virginia’s limited Medicaid program, but also don’t qualify for Federal Government subsidies that are provided by the Affordable Care Act. This includes 3,100 people in Lee’s district, and he will help ensure that they can access the crucial care they need.
