My name is Randy Critzer, and I am running for Delegate in District 72. I am a life-long resident of Virginia. While I was born and raised in Midlothian (and reside there now), I lived and worked in every corner of the Commonwealth prior to returning home to begin my law practice in 2018. I am currently a partner at Frith Anderson + Peake in the Richmond metro office.

Every citizen should have access to quality healthcare, family planning care, emergency services, and needed medications. These are basic needs and should be available when you need them without breaking the bank. As delegate I will do everything in my power to protect your right to quality and affordable medicine.

Access to education is essential for fostering a just and prosperous society. Despite progress, many students still face barriers due to socioeconomic status, race, and geographic location. By prioritizing education access, we can empower all students to reach their full potential and contribute to a more equitable future for our District.

Ensuring an affordable cost of living is a top priority. Rising housing costs and everyday necessities have put a strain on households across the state. While no politician can (or should) promise to fix these issues overnight, what I can promise is that this problem will be front and center for me as I consider each and every policy that the General Assembly proposes, and that I will always consider the direct impact on you—the citizens—before taking action.

For those in Chesterfield: I will introduce a bill that will require all localities that have provided recycling services at any time in the past 10 years to restore those services to the citizens. I will work to ensure no locality has the authority to abandon these basic services in the future.
