On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Affordable transportation solutions for residents in the 10th District need to be addressed immediately. Northern Virginia needs an advocate in Richmond who will fight for local control of our transportation system and dollars. For too long, residents of Loudoun, Clarke and Frederick counties have had taxation without representation.

Why should voters elect you?

I have a decade of public policy experience on issues, including health care, energy, transportation, law enforcement and water.
