Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : "Your government can go to work for you by getting taxes down," Youngkin told an enthusiastic crowd of about 100 local residents and businesspeople assembled as part of a "Richmond on the Road" tour to tout his legislative agenda.
48% : "When we get this economy growing and we bring taxes down, we in fact should continue to see, yes, a very healthy state government [from a] fiscal standpoint," Youngkin said.
47% : Youngkin is also calling for bigger investments in education, law enforcement, behavioral health services and more, but tax cuts will reduce the amount of revenue the state has available to fund those and other services for years to come.
46% : The Senate has also put the brakes on Youngkin's plans to put a one-year freeze on an increase in the gasoline tax and to double the state's standard deduction on income taxes.
41% : "This is our chance to cut taxes and increase some spending in most important areas.
36% : "Today we're cutting taxes."
