Serving the people of the 97th district in the Virginia House of Delegates is a tremendous honor. As a Delegate to the Virginia General Assembly, I have worked hard to keep taxes low, make our schools better and communities safer, create opportunities for job creation and economic growth, and provide excellent constituent service.

Still there is more to be done to make a smaller government and a stronger economy a reality. Government, at all levels, must lower the burden on taxpayers and respect individual liberty.

For these reasons, I am asking for your vote for re-election.

Sincerely,

Christopher K. Peace

 Nicole Riley, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, recently announced that Delegate Chris Peace earned a score of 100 percent on the 2010-11 NFIB/Virginia Voting Record. NFIB/Virginia is the Commonwealth's leading small-business association, with 6,000 small-business members statewide.

 

"What this means is that Delegate Peace has stood up for Virginia's job creators time and again on important issues such as tax relief, health-care reform and the right of employees to cast secret ballots in union organization elections," Riley said.

 

Small businesses account for 98 percent of the Commonwealth's employers and employ nearly half of Virginia's non-government workforce, according to federal government statistics.

 

"Our members truly appreciate the efforts of legislators such as Chris Peace to help Virginia's small-businesses grow and create jobs," Riley said.

 

Peace has visited small businesses and Chambers of Commerce in the district and shared a report of the 2011 General Assembly Session, calling attention to the good news regarding a reduction of taxes and fees on businesses, particularly those on small business.

Peace supported budget amendments that passed and work to phase?out the accelerated sales tax which required nearly 9,000 retailers to pay July's sales tax in June. The phase-out of the accelerated sales tax begins immediately and 80% of impacted retailers will not have to remit an accelerated sales tax payment.

 

"This action is an example of making government work better on behalf of the taxpayer. Government should allow the real job creators to keep more of their hard earned dollar," said Peace.
