Issues

Taxes & Affordability

Chad understands the squeeze of rising prices and housing costs on Virginia families. The gas tax hike, higher fees, and skyrocketing utility bills are all a product of failed Richmond policies. As your delegate, Chad has worked to introduce legislation that puts more money back in your pocket, including the bill to eliminate the Car Tax. Chad has introduced and supported numerous bills that would reduce the tax burden on Virginians while maintaining strong fiscal policy. Chad has worked with Governor Youngkin to deliver for Virginians and will continue the fight in Richmond.

Schools

As a member of the Education Committee, Chad has worked with policymakers from across Virginia to create a world-class education system. He believes that parents can best advocate for their children when they are in the driver’s seat. As the son of a teacher, Chad believes in turning more dollars directly to students so they can afford quality tutoring, textbooks, and study materials has been his mission in Richmond. Chad has also been a tireless advocate for programs that teach kids trades and offer apprenticeships.

Chad has also been an advocate for school safety. Parents should trust when they send their kids to school every day. Protecting children from threats, both inside and outside of the school, is a top priority as a legislator. That is why Chad carried a bill to create greater cooperation between law enforcement and schools to keep our kids safe.

Public Safety

Chad supports common sense safety laws that protect our kids, and ensure that violent criminals go to jail where they belong.

He will continue to stand with the brave men and women in law enforcement. Chad has consistently opposed the heinous attacks on law enforcement in Richmond and will continue to work to ensure that officers and deputies across Virginia have the resources they need to keep our communities safe.

Veterans

Hampton Roads represents one of the highest concentrations of veterans in the country. Chad believes it is our solemn obligation to support the veterans that answered the call to serve our country. Chad vehemently opposed the reckless repeal of the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program (VMSDEP) and continues to work to ensure that veterans receive the care they deserve. Delegate Green worked with a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers to restore VMSDEP after it was stripped in the 2024 Virginia budget.

Transportation

Chad has continuously worked to hold the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) accountable to ensure projects are completed in a timely manner and that roads are maintained. As a former supervisor, he knows the importance of quality roads, accountable maintenance, and timely snow and brush removal.

As delegate, he worked to remove the toll on the Coleman Bridge so that commuters from Gloucester County can work without paying a travel tax.

Beautification

Delegate Chad Green stands opposed to efforts to legalize cruise ship gambling in our waters. With recent pushes to bring riverboat gambling and other activities to our waterways, Chad will continue to fight against any legislation that allows gambling on our coasts.

Additionally, Chad voted against the recent move by the legislature to study a bridge from James City County to Surry County. The James River Bridge study lands in a historic and beautiful part of Virginia. This bridge would be disruptive for local residents and provide Peninsula citizens little benefit.
