Having grown up in neighborhoods where shootings were a regular occurrence, Darius knows the importance of having a safe neighborhood to grow up and live in. He supports fully funding law enforcement and building trust between law enforcement and communities that ensure safe neighborhoods where families can thrive and criminals are held accountable.

As one whose life trajectory was forever changed for the better by law enforcement, Darius has a tremendous appreciation for the role of police in our communities, not least the FBI Academy graduates out of Quantico. Darius supports fully funding our law enforcement officers through enhancing training, qualified immunity, and ensuring officers have the resources they need to maintain strong community relationships and keep our communities safe.

Having seen firsthand the chaos of an unsecured border during congressional visits, Darius was appalled at the deliberate choices during the Biden administration that left our southern border wide open. Darius supports strong border security, including completion of the wall and enforcing immigration laws to protect communities and prioritize the wellbeing and safety of American citizens and honor immigrants who abide by our nation’s laws.

Darius has the utmost respect for our men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line every day for our freedom. When it comes to foreign policy, Darius believes in peace through strength. He supports investing Americans’ tax dollars in our local communities and focusing foreign defense spending and involvement around protecting key American interests and fostering prosperity at home.

Darius knows that America is free because of our veterans’ sacrifices and that Virginia’s nation-leading veteran population is the backbone of our great state. Darius is committed to improving care for veterans, by fighting for increased VA funding, streamlined healthcare access, and expanded job programs, ensuring veterans receive the respect and support they deserve.
