Dear Friends,

It is an honor to represent you in the General Assembly of Virginia. As a citizen legislator, I work every day to reaffirm conservative principles of small government and maximize your individual freedoms.

As a small businessman, I understand the need to keep taxes low and minimize government spending. I believe government runs most efficiently when its responsibilities are streamlined, while unnecessary spending is wasteful and a disservice to our hardworking taxpayers. With this in mind, I fight to eliminate wasteful spending and preserve appropriate funding for essential services. As the federal government recently passed sweeping tax reductions, I will work to keep taxes low so Virginia can remain a place where citizens and businesses both thrive.

I will always protect your constitutional rights from government overreach. As a strong proponent of the Second Amendment, it is my duty to fight to protect the right to lawfully bear a gun.  I will also support policies that expand choices for education and healthcare, unlike the taxpayer-funded burden of Obamacare. Finally, I will continue to sponsor and support legislation that keeps our neighborhoods safe.

Thank you for allowing me to work on your behalf in the Senate of Virginia.

Sincerely,

Ryan McDougle Signature
Ryan T. McDougle

ABOUT

As a lifelong resident of Hanover County, Ryan understands the interests of the local community while seeking to maximize individual freedoms and conservative principles.

Ryan's commitment to public service is influenced by a grounded and humble upbringing. He quickly learned the value of hard work through his Mother's small business, Sandy's Plants, at a young age. He went on to attend James Madison University before attaining his Juris Doctor degree at the Marshall-Wythe School of Law and The College of William and Mary.

Upon graduation, Ryan worked as a prosecutor for the Hanover County Commonwealth Attorney's Office, where he specialized in prosecuting domestic violence and family abuse offenders. His professional work on behalf of children grew into a personal commitment that resulted in the creation of the Hanover County Child Advocate Response Team.

Ryan began his legislative service in the House of Delegates in 2002 and went on to win a special election in 2006 for a vacant 4th Senate District Seat. After Redistricting, he now represents the 26th Senate District. Ryan is the Senate Republican Leader. He is honored to be a member of the Rules, Finance, Courts, Rehabilitation and Social Services, and Commerce and Labor Committees.

Ryan currently operates his own law practice, McDougle Law Firm, P.C. in Hanover. When he is not practicing law, working downtown at the Capitol, or visiting with constituents in the 26th District, Ryan spends his time with his wife Dr. Robyn McDougle and their daughter, Reagan.

ISSUES

Ryan knows lower taxes means more jobs. He has fought for us to keep our hard-earned money throughout his time in public office. He carried legislation that brought an annual Back-To-School Sales Tax Holiday to Virginia, and worked on a budget in 2019 to provide nearly $1 billion in tax relief to Virginians. He will continue to hold the line on lower taxes and protect our paychecks.

With an “A” rating from the NRA, you can trust Ryan to protect our right to keep and bear arms. He has sponsored numerous bills to both protect and expand our Second Amendment rights. As an avid sportsman himself, Ryan will always stand up for gun owners.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and Ryan wants to make it easier to open and grow a business. A thriving private sector leads to job creation and higher employment. Our economy is booming and Ryan believes we should be fostering that growth to bring more jobs to our community.

Ryan has been and always will be a strong defender of our veterans and our law enforcement. Our men and women in the military and in law enforcement sacrifice so much to protect us and we have a duty to ensure they receive the honor and compensation they deserve fortheir service.

Ryan will always defend the lives of the unborn. He recently voted against budget proposals that would have given more money to Planned Parenthood and constantly stands up for pro-life bills in the legislature.

Virginians deserve better healthcare – and that starts with making it more affordable and flexible. Ryan supports increasing the duration of short-term healthcare plans and allowing Virginians to purchase catastrophic health care insurance to access essential health benefits. Ryan voted against Medicaid expansion and will continue to fight against the restrictive single-payer healthcare plan of Obamacare.
