On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

As our community continues to grow, we need to provide a new vision for Prince William County that will focus on solving our transportation challenges by extending Metro to Woodbridge, improve our schools by attracting and retaining the best teachers and create new, good-paying jobs here at home. We must also invest in smart-growth principles that will protect our quality of life and preserve the unique characteristics of our community. Lastly, we must create a county government focused on us and not their political future.

Why should voters elect you?

As your chairman, I will make serving our needs my top priority. I will fix our roads, improve our schools and create jobs here.
