Meet Mr. Cornett, the Republican nominee for Virginia's 46th House of Delegates district, who brings a refreshing perspective to local politics with his commitment to economic revitalization and ethical governance.
As Southwest Virginia faces unique challenges due to its large land mass but smaller population, Cornett leverages his experience as a Grayson County board supervisor to advocate for targeted economic development. His vision includes preparing "shovel-ready plots" along strategic corridors like I-81 and I-77 to attract major employers without increasing the tax burden on local residents. With plans to secure positions on influential committees like the Tobacco Commission, he aims to help counties navigate available resources and fight for essential funding.
What truly distinguishes Cornett's campaign is his principled stance against accepting donations from regulated monopoly utility companies like Appalachian Power and Dominion Energy. While these corporations typically donate across party lines, Cornett recognizes the inherent conflict of interest when legislators who regulate these entities accept their financial support. This commitment to ethical governance comes at a time when Virginians face skyrocketing power bills and demonstrates his dedication to representing constituents rather than corporate interests.
On social issues, Cornett stands firmly with traditional conservative values. As a Second Amendment advocate, he supports rolling back restrictive gun legislation passed during Democratic control of Virginia government. His pro-life position includes opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment that would guarantee abortion rights up to birth in Virginia. Throughout the conversation, Cornett emphasizes how his faith guides his approach to public service, having felt "called" to serve his community.
With early voting beginning September 19th, Cornett makes a compelling case for the importance of state-level elections. Ready to be a voice for Southwest Virginia's economic future while upholding conservative principles, he invites voters to consider how local representation can have an even greater impact on daily life than federal officials. Join the movement to bring accountable, principled leadership to Virginia's 46th District by supporting Mr. Cornett at the polls.
