On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Although we have many vacant homes in Sterling, developments continue to spring up, increasing the area's supply of housing. This housing surplus makes selling vacant homes more difficult. The longer these homes stay vacant, the more they become a blight on our community. Further, irresponsible residential growth is putting pressure on Loudoun's services and taxpayers. As more of the county's resources go to building new schools and new roads to service the new developments, the less we have to sustain our existing schools and infrastructure.

Why should voters elect you?

I will ensure that Sterling's schools, libraries, parks and first responders are fully funded so that it'll continue to be a great place for families.
