On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

My campaign is focusing on reforming government, lowering the tax burden, improving transportation, attracting employers, updating public safety and empowering parents, who are the primary educators of their children. But within the set of issues facing Loudoun County, the most important issue is the county's anti-business image, which has caused the loss of commercial tax revenue, local jobs and an increased burden on the residential taxpayer.

Why should voters elect you?

I will provide community-driven, action-oriented leadership for our community. My years of volunteer service demonstrate my commitment to our community.
