Blevins, in her campaign announcement, said, "I will defend our Constitutional rights and the rights of the unborn as I boldly fight for our conservative values. With the support of my family and the many who have reached out with their encouragement, I will work hard to keep the New River Valley as the best place to live, work, raise a family and retire."
