- "My personal belief is that abortion is morally wrong. As a father of twin girls who are now young women, I would never want them to be forced to carry a rapist's baby. I believe in exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. Somebody close to me was forced to have an abortion. I believe that we need to ensure there are resources available to provide alternatives. I personally believe that any civilized country would have limits to protect the unborn from pain and suffering and that those who support the termination of fully formed and viable babies are extremists."

- "The national debt and deficit soar to new heights, yet our "leaders" spend like drunken sailors. I support a comprehensive review of the entire US federal budget, with spending reductions where possible, without relying on new or increased taxes. The US federal budget must be re-booted and re-examined from the top to bottom. Cuts in wasteful, non-entitlement programs must be sought. I support low taxes, business incentives, and less reliance on foreign labor and foreign investment." (www.myersforvirginia.com)
- "Our economy is on the verge of being surpassed by China's. I am an unapologetic capitalist, firmly opposed to communism, socialism, or any variant thereof. The cost of living is out of control due to unlimited spending on radical agendas. I feel it myself every day, with two kids in college and one in high school. It needs to stop. I support free-market economics with limited government interference. I support lower taxes and responsible spending. We need to stop the policies that drive inflation and make our lives too expensive." (www.myersforvirginia.com)

- "I support law enforcement. I believe that police are overwhelmingly good people. I believe many negative perceptions of police are fueled by social media and the increased exposure of citizens to those instances in which police act inappropriately. The fact of the matter is that deaths at the hands of police remain remarkably rare in the United States. I do not support "re-imagining" policing in the United States. I support the continued funding and proper training of law enforcement." (www.myersforvirginia.com)
- "National security is the most critical issue facing our country. In the face of potential conflict with China, we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel in our military. As the Chinese surpass us in force numbers, our leaders continue to focus on diversity. I support a reconstitution and re-focusing of our military. It begins with de-politicization of the defense structure, followed by a rebuilding based solely on the tenets of strategic dominance and warfighting." (www.myersforvirginia.com)
- Ballotpedia "I am passionate about all policies that affect the freedoms and securities of American citizens. However, I am particularly passionate about national security, the second amendment, the economy, and veterans affairs. Under national security I would include ensuring that we re-focus our national security on real threats, like China, and not politically-motivated "threats" such as white nationalism or Christian nationalism. I am passionate about restoring our border security, returning to fiscal sanity, and also rescuing our declining military from internal mismanagement by those more interested in social agendas than lethality."

- "I support American energy independence. While I believe that carbon emissions from the combustion of fuels are detrimental to the environment, I do not subscribe to alarmist climate doctrine that states the world will end in a decade if we don't eliminate fossil fuels immediately. The world will continue to exist a decade from now, and long after that. I do believe that the world should and will continue to refine cleaner burning and zero emissions energy technologies, driven by innovation and free-market demand." (www.myersforvirginia.com)

- "I am a 2nd Amendment absolutist. It was not written for sportsmen and hunters. It was written to ensure we would never be subject to tyrannical government. I've seen firsthand the violence that can be done to an unarmed populace. I support a renewed and vigorous effort to prosecute and incarcerate those who use firearms in the conduct of a crime. Most importantly, the effort we put into protecting our schools must exceed that which we take to protect our banks." (www.myersforvirginia.com)

- "Career politicians have failed in their greatest responsibility: protecting our national sovereignty. They have failed to protect us from poisonous Chinese fentanyl and the Mexican drug cartels. I support securing the border with all technical and physical security measures available, regardless of politics. Once our border is physically secure, I support the enforcement of our existing immigration laws and a re-examination of those laws. I support legal immigration in all forms."
