Latino Republican candidate for Virginia's 7th Congressional District, Yesli Vega, is vowing to tackle the “lawlessness and chaos” that she says has erupted due to skyrocketing crime numbers.

Vega says he focuses on other issues, such as combating the country’s historic inflation and unnecessary spending by the current government, as well as resolving the migration crisis on the southern border. Taking the point of view of her profession as a former police officer and supervisor of Prince William County, for her, fighting crime is at the top of the list.

“It's very important to ensure that we uphold the rule of law, that enforce the laws on the books and as county supervisor, we conducted a countywide survey and the number one priority for folks is safe and secure communities”, Vega told Fox News Digital.

Republican Yesli Vega is running against Representative Abigail Spanberger (D-Va) and has attacked the Democratic party for, in her view, encouraging crime in cities across the country due to the impunity of criminals.

"So what does that tell criminals? I can go ahead, break the law and nothing's going to happen. So that's the result of failed Democratic leadership, in my opinion, and their policies. And so you have to go back to a place where if somebody doesn't want to play by the rules, they want to violate the law, they're going to be held accountable”, said Vega to Fox News.

Vega was a strong advocate for Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin during the 2021 gubernatorial race as the chairwoman of the Latinos for Youngkin coalition, proudly boasting the historic 54% of the Hispanic vote she helped him earn, according to one exit poll. And with the 2024 buzz Youngkin has already been generating among Republicans, Vega appears enthused about his prospects of a potential bid for the White House, according to Fox News.

When asked if she was concerned about recent polls signaling hope that Democrats will retain control of Congress in November, Vega expressed confidence that voters will keep the “failed Democratic leadership” in mind come Election Day.

In listing the education and price of gas, Vega told to Fox News that “they can say whatever they want, and they can use flowery language all day long, but at the end of the day, look at what they've caused. We are in this condition because of failed Democratic leadership and failed policies. And so we're going to stick to the issues. […] "And the sad thing is that it doesn't have to be this way. You do not have to be paying over $5 for gas, OK? If we really mean that we're going to put America and Americans first and their interests above all others, then we have to start electing people that are going to do what they say they're going to do. And I see the shift, and I'm really excited to be part of this incoming freshman class because we are going to deliver. We are going to work on behalf of the American people”.
