The Issues
Affordable Health Care
There is a reason that American health care is second to none in the world: American dedication to medical science and the economic health that can develop such health care. However, the industry must reach out to the tens of millions of Americans for whom affordable health care is not available.
Protecting Social Securtiy
When properly funded, Social Security works. It is a system that reaches out to every American and it must be protected. At present, the crisis regarding the funding of social security is undisputed.
Transportation
As the son of an architect, David Ashe has had a in-depth view of the strength and growth of our community. Good transportation equals a good economy. David will be committed to seeking out every opportunity for Southeast Virginia to meet its critical transportation needs.
A Strong U.S. Israel Relationship
David Ashe supports our strong U.S.-Israel relationship. America has too powerful a position in the world to ever be viewed as anything less than staunchly pro-Israel. If we waiver even a fraction, the world will see and the enemies will act.

A REAL Prescription Drug Bill
Our seniors are treasures and to ignore their needs is a national disgrace. David Ashe will work to pass a Medicare Prescription Drug Bill one that gives real benefits and does not simply feed the greed of HMO???s and insurance companies.
Environment
Maintaining the health of our environment and our natural resources is one of the best investments we can make. Our economic strength has so many ties to the natural resources of Southeast Virginia to include the water we drink, the water we fish and the soil we plant.
