Official Profile
Religion: Not publicly stated (no evidence found)
Background: VA Delegate, HD-96 (Virginia Beach/Chesapeake); first Asian-American woman elected to the VA House (2017); served the 21st District 2018-2024, then HD-96; re-elected Nov 2025. Former elementary-school teacher (M.Ed., Old Dominion); married to a deputy sheriff. Often characterized as comparatively moderate.
VA Delegate, HD-96 (Virginia Beach); former teacher; re-elected Nov 2025. [2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement, state tier — overnight autopilot] Progressive HARD record on the marquee votes: YES on HJ1 (2025 reproductive-freedom amendment, House 51-49); YES on the same-sex-marriage repeal amendment (HJ9 2025); Giffords-endorsed and voted for the firearm-violence-intervention office (HB1736) and red-flag-law record. Endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia. *** MODERATE / CROSS-PARTY DEVIATIONS FLAGGED FOR HUMAN VERIFICATION (left NULL, not credited): a conservative scorecard (Freedom Index) logs her voting YES in 2022 on a CRT-curriculum ban (HB787), a Family Life Education parental-transparency bill (HB789), and a religious-freedom-of-worship bill (HB775); and Wikipedia documents her 2020 ABSTENTION on ending police qualified immunity (HB5013), citing her deputy-sheriff husband. The researcher cautioned these conservative-scorecard roll-calls can read counterintuitively (procedural/amendment votes) and recommended confirming them on the primary LIS roll-call; LIS blocks automated fetch, so per evidence-first discipline these cells are NULL pending a human check rather than credited on an unverified source. If a human confirms the HB787/HB789 votes, family_child_sovereignty q2 may upgrade to TRUE; HB775 → christian_liberty q3. The qualified-immunity abstention is a recusal, not affirmative pro-police advocacy, so it does not meet the public_justice q0 bar even if confirmed. *** Other cells left null — no public record.
