On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
It is critical to the citizens of Alexandria that the Circuit Court clerk's office continues to provide the exemplary service that has made us a standard for excellence in the commonwealth. I am proud to be the Circuit Court clerk selected for the Virginia Supreme Court's Advisory Committee on Rules of Court. As we process real estate transactions, marriage licenses, wills and assist in the management of the operations of the court, our staff is always mindful that our primary duty is to serve Alexandrians in the caring manner they deserve.
Why should voters elect you?
My office provides professional, courteous and state-of-the-art service to all Alexandrians who come to us for the many functions that we provide.
