“Steve possesses the strength of character to be a
leader in
the Senate. He has the seniority and experience we
will need
in order to fight for voters. He always votes his
conscience as
he represents the people of Central Virginia.
Steve also has the
seniority to help our area with jobs and economic
development.
I hope you will re-elect my friend Steve Newman.”
Congressman Virgil Goode
“For nearly a decade, Steve Newman has been a
partner in
service with me, providing honest, effective
leadership to the
people of Central Virginia. I need an ally like
Steve Newman
standing up for our shared values in the Virginia
Senate.”
Congressman Bob Goodlatte
When our fire and rescue workers told Steve Newman
that
our area was the only part of the state without
Medivac
coverage, he went to work. Steve convinced the
governor
to change the policy, and now we have this
life-saving tool
to protect our families.

Senator Steve Newman
A LEADER WE NEED
Steve and his wife, Kim, grew up here in Central
Virginia and were grade school sweethearts. They
were married in 1994 and they are the proud
parents of two children: Tyler, age 7, and Wesley,
age 4. Although Steve is only 38 years old, he has
12 years of seniority at the state capitol. He
also
served four years in local government as well. As
our Virginia Senator, Steve’s commitment to family
was recently recognized by the Virginia Family
Foundation when they named him “Legislator
of the Year” for his leadership on pro-family
policies. He also received the Seniors Coalition’s
“Legislator of the Year” award for his work for
seniors, and has been consistently rated as one of
Virginia’s most pro-jobs legislators by the
National
Federation of Small Businesses.

Fighting To Create Jobs
As our state senator, Steve has helped many local
employers including Frito-Lay, Framatome, GE
Financial, and other businesses in Central
Virginia. He has helped lead the effort to secure $4.3 million
for the Jobs Center at Central Virginia Community
College. Steve has consistently been rated as one of
the Senate’s most pro-jobs legislators while
working to eliminate job-killing government red tape.
Strengthening Families
From sponsoring the Defense of Marriage Act which
defines marriage as between one man and one
woman to leading the effort to enact a
Partial-birth Abortion ban to authoring Virginia’s Amber Alert
Legislation to find missing children, Senator
Newman has stood tall for our faith and families.
Improving Schools And Keeping Lottery Funds At
Home For Education
Steve authored the Constitutional Amendment that
requires Lottery proceeds to go to education. Steve
has fought for lower class sizes and higher
academic standards. Funding for K-12 education has
increased by over one billion in the last ten
years with the support of Senator Newman. The results:
student’s reading and math scores are improving
year-to-year. This year, Steve was selected by his
colleagues to be the Chairman of the Public
Education Sub-Committee, and is a ranking member of the
Education and Health Committee.
Keeping Taxes Low and Protecting Senior Citizens
Steve understands that families need to keep their
hard earned money to take care of our family needs.
He has been one of the Senate’s strongest
advocates for making government live within its mean. Steve
has also received the Seniors Coalition’s
“Legislator of the Year” award for his work to protect our
seniors including his opposition to unfairly
taxing Social Security.

FAMILY MAN WITH DEEP
ROOTS IN CENTRAL
VIRGINIA
Steve grew up right here in Central
Virginia where he learned time-tested
values like hard work, faith in God,
helping folks in need, standing up for
what’s right, and personal integrity. He
married his grade school sweetheart.
Today, Kim and Steve are raising their
children.
COMMITTED PUBLIC
SERVANT
Our Senator, Steve Newman,
understands that government must
live within its means. That is why
Steve led the effort to kill the pay
raise for legislator, and last year, led
again, by cutting his own salary and
office expenses to help with the budget
problems even before the Senate could
act on the matter.

Steve Newman authored the landmark constitutional

profits back to our local schools.
Newman wants
lotter
y money for
schools only
by Terry Scanlon
The News & Advance
Money raised by the state lottery should be given
to localities
to spend on education only, State Sen. Steve
Newman said
Thursday, and he plans to continue pushing for a
state constitutional
amendment to say so.
However, Newman’s opponent in the fall election
says that does
not guarantee an overall increase in school
spending.
Lottery supporters told voters in the 1980s, when
the lottery
was approved, that profits from the games would go
to education.
Newman said the state should keep that promise.
“Over the years the General Assembly has far too
often broken
its promise to our children and spent the lottery
profits elsewhere,”
he said.
Since its inception 10 years ago, the lottery has
earned $3.1
billion for the state.

In 2002, when we needed to secure $4.3 million to
fund the badly needed Job Center
at CVCC, Senator Steve Newman went to work along
with our local delegation. Using his
seniority, Senator Newman helped persuade the
State Senate to fund the new state-of-the-art
Job-Center — the first of its kind of Virginia.
The Result: soon our local folks – both young and
old – will get the training and skills they
need to make them qualified for the jobs that will
be created.
“When it comes to jobs,
we have two great
needs. First, we must
make sure that folks
who have lost their
jobs can find quality
jobs to allow them
to provide for their
families. Second, the
next generation — our
children and grandchildren
— must have
the opportunity to
achieve the American
Dream right here
at home in Central
Virginia. That’s why
I’m working so hard
on job creation and
economic development.
I believe the new Job
Center at CVCC will be
an important part of our
effort.”
Our Senator Steve Newman
THIS NEW $4.3 MILLION “JOB-CENTER” AT CVCC WILL BE
