Joe McNamara for Families. Gun Rights. Small Businesses. Tax Cuts. Law Enforcement. Safe Communities. Smaller, More Efficient Government.

Leader on Taxes

In 2025, Joe carried legislation to make larger standard deduction permanent. In 2023, Joe carried Governor Youngkin’s tax reform package. In 2022, Joe carried legislation repealing the state grocery tax. In 2019, Joe was instrumental in the largest tax cut in thirty years. He will continue to deliver tax relief to working Virginians if re-elected.

Protector of Families

Joe is a proud husband and father to five children. He has a strong record of fighting for family values and constitutional liberties. He is recognized by the American Conservative Union being one of the most conservative members of the House of Delegates.

Job Creator

As the owner of two ice cream stores, Joe knows how to create jobs and balance a budget. He pushes back against job-killing laws and regulations. He carried legislation that would have reduced the state tax burden on small businesses by 10%. Joe successfully carried legislation in 2023 and again in 2025 that allowed favorable tax treatment for pass-through entities, expanding their capabilities to grow and add associates.
