Here is why the Attorney General race is so important.
Below is an attack ad Mark Herring has used against the rookie Republican candidate John Adams. Mark Herring has spoken out in defense of a strict definition and prosecution of hate crimes in Virginia.
Below is an attack ad by John Adams against Mark Herring. The important issue that might sway many voters to go for the new Republican candidate is the issue of Pro-Life and Anti-Abortion.
As a young student with a personal connection to this recent victim of possible hate crime I am persuaded to vote for Mark Herring. To me the respect of life should be throughout an entire life and not just for the unborn. Here is what I know about Nabra and why voting to be tough on hate crimes is so important to me;
- Worked with her in Mcdonald’s
- Talented and hardworker
- Always full of happiness
- Remained with a smile and laughter
- She was so big-hearted
How do we investigate and prevent future crimes? This issue should be discussed and acted upon by our elected officials in Virginia.

When I heard this tragic event being talked about it hurt because she was innocent and he did not have to rape and kill Nabra, and it is so sad how her siblings will grow up without a older sister in their lives. I can only imagine how her parents feel about all of that.
