The three candidates for Virginia governor have expressed their opinions on many important issues such as abortion, gun control and education reform . Ken Cuccinelli is the Republican Party candidate. Terry McAuliffe is the Democratic candidate. Robert Sarvis is running as a Libertarian candidate. All three have different views on abortion, they all support the Second Amendment, and have different plans for education reform. Terry McAuliffe is pro-abortion. He said he trusts women to make their own decisions about their own health. McAuliffe does not support regulating ultrasounds and he does not support closing women's health centers. Divisive efforts by politicians to interfere in decisions made by women and their doctors are harmful to Virginia families and businesses. He said he didn't want to send a signal that Virginia was moving backwards on important issues like women's health. Terry McAuliffe is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. He believes background checks will reduce gun crimes because people with a history of violent crime and mental health issues won't be able to purchase a gun. McAuliffe also agrees that the Brady bill was the right thing to do. He wants to prevent unauthorized use of guns with smart gun technology. Terry McAuliffe also wants to limit the size of magazines and return to the rule of one weapon per month. Terry McAuliffe said we're not doing enough to support our schools. He said we must form partnerships with businesses and community colleges, emphasize science and computer science, and increase the flexibility of our school districts to help Virginia schools move into the 21st century. Terry McAuliffe wants to keep college costs low by helping students through financial aid and appropriate support from Virginia community colleges and four-year colleges to keep a college education within reach of all Virginians. He also wants to reform Virginia's learning testing standards because he believes they are outdated and don't work. McAuliffe wants to pay teachers a good amount of money to attract better teachers to Virginia. Robert Sarvis said abortion has led to the election of extremist candidates who he believes are not good for this country. He believes that trying to regulate abortion through the coercive power of the state is counterproductive, it has also ruined our political discourse and radicalized our political parties..
