LEARN MORE ABOUT NICK
Record of service to our country and community.
Nick Freitas lives in Culpeper, Virginia with his high school sweetheart and wife, Tina, along with their three children. Nick is serving in his second term in the House of Delegates for Virginia’s 30th District. After his high school graduation, Nick joined the Army. Following 9/11, he volunteered for the U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets), and served 2 tours in Iraq. Following his honorable discharge in 2009, Nick became the Director of Operations for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned company. During his first term as delegate, Nick proudly patroned legislation which reduced onerous regulations, improved government transparency and drastically increased local control of education curriculum. Some of Nick’s most recents achievements include pushing for one of the nation’s strictest civil asset forfeiture reform bills and taking a strong stand for occupational licensing reform on behalf of Virginia’s working professionals.
The Issues
“I am first and foremost a Christian. My dedication to the belief that we all have inherent value and are entitled to liberty and equality before the law is rooted in this worldview. Individual liberty, personal responsibility, respect for God and limited, constitutional government are not merely convenient political concepts, but essentials which are fundamental to our liberty, prosperity and security.”
Limited, Constitutional Government
The U.S. Constitution is not a list of suggestions, but a contract between the people and their government. Representatives must actively demonstrate their support for these documents by using originalism to faithfully interpret its text.
Economic Liberty & Private Property
People should be free to make important economic decisions for themselves free from intrusive and over-bearing government. This means supporting low taxes, opposing onerous regulations, protecting private property rights and at all times fighting cronyism, which seeks to make business beholden to politicians and bureaucrats rather than their customers.
Fiscal Responsibility
Transparency, Frugality and Constitutionality must be the hallmarks of government budgeting and fiscal management. Taxes should be collected fairly and equitably and should only be expended on legitimate functions of government.
Educational Freedom
Parents need greater freedom in determining their children’s educational needs. Teachers need more time and flexibility to educate, rather than trying to constantly prepare children for their next standardized test. We must also keep Common Core out of Virginia’s education system.
Virginia Families
Nick is adamantly pro-life and will not only fight legislation to reduce restrictions on unsafe abortion clinics, but will actively encourage, advance and patron legislation which recognizes government’s legitimate interest in advancing the ethic that all people have intrinsic worth.
Second Amendment Rights
Restrictions on our right to keep and bear arms is a direct violation of both the letter and the spirit of the law and must be opposed.
Immigration Reform
As a sovereign nation, we have an obligation to secure our borders. Our immigration system must be reformed to allow for safe and sensible legal immigration. We cannot allow for processes that do not take into account the best interests of our citizens. The current system has allowed terrorists and criminals to step in front of honest immigrants seeking to assimilate into our society. Nick supports both strengthening our border security and adopting merit-based immigration policies.
