On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Energy! Building rail in Mt. Vernon District and across the U.S. We need to aggressively convert from energy sources that are used up in the production of energy to energy sources that are renewable. In our homes, our businesses and in transportation. Mt. Vernon District, because of BRAC and growth in tourism industry in FX County, is the perfect area to build rail to transition to renewable energy sources and to grow our economy. We need more trains, less traffic. We need jobs and access to jobs and our businesses for Mt. Vernon District. We need rail to Ft. Belvoir!
Why should voters elect you?
Gail "for Rail" Parker is a relentless, independent advocate for building the rail needed in Mt. Vernon District. Gail "for Rail" will be effective!
