Q&A Quote:
“I stand for, and have consistently voted over 4 years, for policies and laws that promote economic development, protecting our children, safer communities, support for our law enforcement and first responders, lower taxes, lower electric bills, and a host of other important issues for the New River Valley. I have been a steadfast and strong voice in Richmond since I was elected in 2021, and I hope I have earned the trust and confidence of my constituents to continue championing pragmatic, commonsense solutions that increase our quality of life, which is why I humbly ask for your vote to re-elect me to the House of Delegates.”

Q&A Quote:
“We, the people, are standing up against the harmful policies of the Trump administration that are being praised by GOP candidates in Virginia. They praise cuts to the healthcare coverage of 300,000 Virginians, they praise the tariffs that are raising prices of groceries, they applaud the fact that 32,000 federal workers have been fired by Trump in Virginia, they brag that they end3ed the right of women to choose their healthcare options just like adult men, and they veto the legal sale of already legalized marijuana in Virginia to help reduce opioid overdose fatalities, create wealth for Virginia Farmers, and raise hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes for affordable housing, childcare, and full funding of education for all in Virginia.. They represent Donald Trump and not the struggling people of Virginia. Vote Biko Agozino for District 42, Virginia House of Assembly and get the representation you deserve.”
