Flourette's campaign website highlights the following issues:

Our businesses are the ground floor of our upstanding community, and we must work together to strengthen them. Together, we can rebuild our economy, and in turn, provide our people with the necessities they deserve such as broadband, an organized tax structure, and high quality school systems.

It is our turn to tell Richmond that we are here, we are serious, and we will not be ignored.

Our current options for broadband internet are limited and rarely affordable. For our more urban areas, the average consumer has only one option for ground-based connections and limited access to satellite services as an alternative. In our farther reaching rural communities, the options are even more limited or service is unavailable altogether.

When you ask most people how they access the Internet, Facebook, Google, or email, they respond, “With my cellphone.” However, this is tremendously more expensive because of limited data usage, problems achieving a quality signal, and the need to have an up-to-date smartphone. None of these options are easily affordable for our rural community.

What Virginians need is last-mile broadband connectivity across the Commonwealth. Broadband is inexpensive and can provide many additional services that can benefit our communities, including Internet, television, and phone services. Implementation of last-mile broadband can also provide emergency services personnel with more stable and reliable communications.

Our tax structure is in dire need of attention if we want to save our small businesses. We are continuously presented with new ways to provide tax breaks, but how can we provide tax breaks to members of our rural community if they do not earn enough to pay out taxes in the first place?

We need subsidies and vouchers to offset the deficit in small communities and give them the chance to build-up a stronger small business base. Strengthening this base will provide more stability to our communities and provide more jobs and revenue that will eventually raise our tax base enough to become fully self-sufficient.

We have grown up in these mountains with our feet in the fields and our hair in the wind. These are our hunting grounds, our fishing waters our farms, and our forests. Protecting these natural resources is essential to our lives and the future of our homes. We can balance ecology with economy. We can steer away from our fossil fuel consumption and begin new ways of preserving our lands while providing cleaner, sustainable, cheaper options such as solar and wind energy.

As our workforce in the fossil fuel industry diminishes, we can shift to a new job market in the installation, operation, and maintenance of renewable energies and provide better employment opportunities for our children who have aspirations in technology fields. This will provide them with the opportunity to stay in the communities they love while working in the fields they are passionate about.

Our schools are struggling. In Floyd alone, Indian Valley Elementary school is finding it harder each year to keep its doors open, and yet, these children live too far from the nearest elementary school to plausibly be transferred. In our rural mountain community, these are not simple issues of student enrollment. These are issues with the ability of our schools to maintain their buildings and afford their bills. We deserve a better focus on our schools, for our students, and our community. A quality school benefits our children who become our working adults, and our working adults deserve the best start to elevate our community.
