🚨 A woman nine months pregnant was murdered. Her unborn son died too. 

Capital murder charges were on the table when Shannon Taylor took office. She dropped them. ❌

The victim's niece met with her face to face and begged her to reinstate the charge. Taylor said no.

If that's her judgment on a case this public and this scrutinized, what does it say about the cases nobody's watching? 🔍#VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics #PublicSafety

🚨 The RNC on Shannon Taylor:

💬 "Shannon Taylor is a woke language cop more concerned with word policing than locking up violent criminals. Her record is a far-left activist's wish list and Virginians' nightmare - the last thing voters need is another DEI warrior in Washington."

Virginia's 1st District deserves better. 🚔#VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics #PublicSafety

🚨 Shannon Taylor, in her own words:

💬 Progressive values "should be the core of any government official in whatever capacity [they serve]."

Not the Constitution. Not the law. Not equal treatment for every constituent. ⚖️

Public office is a public trust, not a political agenda. 🇺🇸#VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics

🚨 What does Shannon Taylor stand for?

She endorsed Fair and Just Prosecution's "21 Principles," which:

❌ Urge prosecutors to weigh race in bail, charging (including juveniles as adults), plea offers, sentencing, and parole ⚖️
❌ Push declining cases "clouded" by a "pattern of racist conduct"
❌ Discourage calling rapists "rapists," drug dealers "drug dealers," and convicted criminals "felons" or "inmates" 🚫
❌ Retire phrases like "tough on crime" and "don't do the crime if you can't do the time"
❌ Oppose calling constitutional protections "technicalities" or "loopholes," and alternatives to incarceration "coddling"

Race in the courtroom. Euphemisms for criminals. Language policed. 🚔

Virginia's 1st District deserves better. 🇺🇸 #VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics #PublicSafety

🚨 Voters are entitled to look at the record behind a candidate's values.

Shannon Taylor's criminal-justice positions are public. Virginians can judge for themselves:

❌ End cash bail: accused criminals back on our streets 🚔
❌ Make assaulting a police officer a misdemeanor, not a felony
❌ "Full repeal of all mandatory minimums"
❌ Automatic, free expungement of eligible records
❌ Drop the felony enhancement for repeat petit larceny
❌ End the mandatory 6-month license suspension for drug convictions

Public safety isn't a progressive experiment. 🇺🇸#VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics #PublicSafety

🚨 Public office is not a vehicle for one political ideology. It's a public trust.

Your job:
⚖️ Represent the people you serve
📜 Apply the law fairly
🔍 Answer for your decisions

Shannon Taylor disagrees.

As a prosecutor, she's put progressive politics ahead of:
❌ Parents
❌ Public safety
❌ Equal treatment under the law

Virginia deserves a public servant, not an activist. 🇺🇸 #VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics

🚨 Shannon Taylor on public service:

💬 "When we talk about Progressive values to promote social justice and economic fairness… that should be the core of any government official in whatever capacity [they serve]."

Wrong. ❌

The core of public service:
⚖️ Uphold the Constitution
📜 Follow the law
🇺🇸 Serve EVERY constituent, whether they agree with you or not

Public office is a duty to everyone, not a political agenda. #VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics

🚨 WHO IS SHANNON TAYLOR? 🚨

❌ Backed "gender-affirming care" for minors
❌ Called parental consent on name/pronoun changes "egregious political overreach" 👨‍👩‍👧
❌ Backed Biden's Title IX rewrite
❌ Fired 7 veteran prosecutors, 6+ white, citing "more diversity" ⚖️
❌ Endorsed the "21 Principles": weigh race in bail, charging, pleas, sentencing, parole

Race-based justice. Parents sidelined. Experienced prosecutors gone. 🚫

Virginia deserves better. 🇺🇸 #VA01 #Virginia #VAPolitics

⚠️ SHANNON TAYLOR EXPOSED

Taylor wants a seat in Congress because she believes "progressive values" should be "the core of any government official”.

🚨Taylor is more focused on implementing soft of crime policies than locking up violent criminals and delivering justice

🚨 Shannon Taylor's own words: "felonizing" assault on a cop might not "achieve a goal of a safer society."

Meanwhile: 177 felony assault-on-cop charges in Henrico since 2017. 134 — 3 in 4 — knocked down to misdemeanors.
That's not law and order. That's Shannon Taylor’s record. #VA01

❓ Should Virginia expand or limit parental-consent rules for kids' name and pronoun changes at school?

🚨 Shannon Taylor was asked directly last year.  Her full answer: "Glenn Youngkin is following Donald Trump's playbook to target our children for his own extreme political agenda. We need leaders who will stand up to Donald Trump's egregious political overreach."

Not one word about the actual policy.
Voters deserve a straight answer.
If she won't take a position now, why trust her in Congress? #VA01

🚓 June 2025: Shannon Taylor blasted Virginia State Police for working with ICE.

Asked why Governor Youngkin allowed it, her answer: "because Donald Trump said so."

Not a policy critique.
Not a legal argument.
Just Trump Derangement.

Virginia needs a rep who takes law enforcement policy seriously, not one who dismisses it as politics. #VA01

🚔 Shannon Taylor's claim: "13 sheriffs endorse me."
What she doesn't say: ONLY 1 of those 13 actually serves VA-01.

Meanwhile, 14 sheriffs who do serve this district endorsed Rob Wittman.

The people who patrol these communities picked a side. It wasn't Taylor's. #VA01

🚨 State health officials substantiated sexual abuse of two nursing home residents by the same aide. Shannon Taylor declined to prosecute both cases.

⏳ Months later, the same aide sexually abused a third resident at a different facility.
Pattern of declined prosecutions, real consequences.

Voters shouldn't hand her more power after this record. #VA01

🚨 Shannon Taylor co-founded Virginia Progressive Prosecutors for Justice.

Their agenda: end cash bail statewide to allow dangerous criminals back on the streets. Fully repeal mandatory minimums. Automatic expungements of criminal records.

She built the movement.

This isn't a one-off vote — it's the philosophy her career is built on. #VA01

🚨 9 infants abused. 9 felony convictions.
But Shannon Taylor gave her a plea deal.
3 years for breaking the bones of nine infants. 

That's not accountability. That's soft on crime.

🏀Biological men competing in women's sports

🚻 Allowing sex-change operations on minors

That's not the mainstream position Virginia families expect from their representative in Congress.

⚖️ Before she was a prosecutor, Shannon Taylor was a defense attorney — including arguing for a lighter sentence for a man sentenced to 125 years for rape and murder, calling his crimes "very regretfully out of character."

❗ Ask the victims' families if that's the right standard.

🚨 Shannon Taylor’s DEI staffing overhaul:

❌ Seven career prosecutors fired because they didn’t fit her diversity standards.

⚖️ 150 combined years of experience lost.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch editorial called it “close to a confession that she fired people because they belonged to the wrong race or gender.”

Her words.
The editorial board’s assessment.
A record Virginia voters deserve to scrutinize.

🚨 You don't get to ask Virginia voters to send you to Congress on the strength of your "judgment" after your office negotiated a plea deal that gave the man who killed a 24-year-old police officer just two months of house arrest. 

❌That's disqualifying, full stop.
