Shannon Taylor has embraced a radical soft-on-crime agenda — making it easier for criminals to get out of jail and pushing leniency for violent offenders. Her policies prioritize criminals over victims, and her repeated efforts to weaken sentencing laws show a dangerous disregard for public safety. Under her watch, accountability takes a back seat to activism.
Taylor has repeatedly undermined law enforcement — slashing prosecutorial deference to police and aligning with anti-cop organizations. Her hostility toward law enforcement is no secret. It’s no surprise her own county defunded her activist prosecutor position.
Taylor isn’t just a prosecutor — she’s a far-left activist using her office to push a radical political agenda. She’s more focused on waging a woke campaign against Virginia families, and her record and platform reads more like a progressive blog post than a plan to keep Virginians safe.
