On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Traffic congestion and gridlock are major issues for the Woodbridge District and Prince William County residents. Traffic tie-ups along Route 1 and Interstate 95 are commonplace, as residents travel to and from work each morning and evening. With the increasing population in the Woodbridge District, residents have begun putting more stress on a road network that already has major problems.

Why should voters elect you?

I've delivered over $300 million in funding to widen Route 1 and reduce congestion in Woodbridge with more on the way.
