On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

The effect of too much residential development approved by an earlier Loudoun County Board of Supervisors has caused gridlocked traffic and higher real estate personal property taxes. This over-development will require Loudoun to have a larger business base to provide local jobs and keep taxes in check. Rail to Loudoun will help and is urgently needed.

Why should voters elect you?

I believe community counts: an excellent educational system, good nearby jobs, open space and trails, safety, managed growth, investment in our mature community.
