I’m Steve Stepp
…and I’m running For Delegate in Virginia’s 74th District
I’m Steve Stepp, and I’m running to represent the place that raised me.
I grew up in Chesterfield, the only child of a single mother. I worked in restaurants and retail, and I saw plenty of people in the toughest situations. Growing up like that, you learn the cost of things early. I don’t claim to know more than the people I’m asking to represent. I’m one of you, and I’ll listen first.
Three beliefs guide me: everyone deserves dignity, this should be a place you can afford to live, and you should be free to live your life.
Running through all three is a promise to protect our air, water, and land for the next generation.

What Steve Believes
-
I grew up in Chesterfield knowing what everything cost. Whether you were raised in Matoaca, Ettrick, Dale, Bermuda, or Colonial Heights, you shouldn’t be priced out of home. That means down payment help for first-time buyers, affordable childcare, and good trade jobs without a mountain of debt. It also means utility bills that don’t climb to feed data centers.
-
Nobody who worked their whole life should have to choose between prescriptions and groceries. I’ll fight to keep clinics open, expand telehealth, and protect Medicaid access. Families caring for a parent with dementia shouldn’t be left to figure it out alone. And every job deserves respect: no wage theft, no games with tipped pay, and a minimum wage that keeps up with prices.
-
Freedom means being able to get a job that pays a living wage, if you want to work. It means voting without waiting hours in line, and not being tracked by license plate readers. It means keeping dark money and AI-faked political ads out of our elections.
