Join Julie…

Meet Julie…

My name is Julie Perry, and I’m running for the Virginia House of Delegates to represent the amazing 86^th District, which I have been lucky enough to call home for the past three and a half years.

My father served in the United States Air Force, so growing up we moved around quite a bit—I learned the value of finding a place you could call home, and I found that here in Herndon with my husband, Mike. Education is a lifelong passion of mine—I get to live in my dream job every day, teaching 9^th grade world history and 11^th grade U.S. History at Centreville High School in Fairfax County.

As a teacher, I have had to watch our students struggle under the crushing pressure of being forced to stay at home and transition to online-based learning. I have seen the social and emotional toll it has taken on them, their families, and on my colleagues. Moreover, I watched their calls for help go unanswered at so many levels. The buck stops here.

I am running to bring a fresh perspective to government. I’m not a Richmond insider—I’m a working teacher. My focus is on the issues that matter closest to home:

Re-opening our Schools
Improving our Education System
Public Safety
Restoring Faith in our Elections
Fiscal Accountability
Preserving Virginian’s Right to Work

My pledge to the voters of the 86^th District is simple: I will work harder and travel farther than anyone to understand the issues that matter the most to you, and to earn the responsibility of representing you in the House of Delegates.
