On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Sterling is in dire need of political and socioeconomic reform among the diverse population in the area. There is a large disconnect between elected politicians and the general population. Decisions regarding political processes are made by individual and partisan interests that do not reflect the wishes of the general population. To improve the quality of life of all people, political and socioeconomic power must originate from collective citizen participation.

Why should voters elect you?

I am independent, and my actions will directly reflect the wishes and voices of the people. I was born and raised in Loudoun County.
