[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of younger voters don’t like him because of his involvement with the tow truck lobby and close involvement with Advance Towing. This has been discussed quite often on NoVa Reddit whenever Petersen’s name comes up.[/quote]

Not just young voters. So many people are mad about him [b]related to LGBTQ+ issues[/b], gun violence prevention etc.[/quote]

What are his positions on LGBTQ+ issues that some (I assume very progressive) people don't like?[/quote]

He voted for the Marshall-Newman amendment that banned same-sex marriage. You don't have to be a progressive to call that out.[/quote]

To be fair, that was in 2005 - almost 20 years ago - when very few politicians were in favor of same-sex marriage.  I suspect his current position is more favorable from your perspective.  He voted to repeal the SSM prohibition in 2021:  [url]https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?212+vot+SV0230HJ0582+HJ0582[/url][/quote]
