On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Out-of-control spending at all levels of government has left us with taxes that are higher than what we can afford in a downward economy. At a time when many have lost or fear losing their jobs, the idea of higher taxes is unacceptable. During good times, the Virginia Department of Transportation left $1 billion of transportation funds unspent, aggravating Northern Virginia's serious transportation problem. As your elected delegate, I will work to reduce the size of government, thus freeing funds needed to solve our critical transportation problem.

Why should voters elect you?

As a Christian tea party conservative, I will not simply go along to get along, tax along to spend along.
