On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Prince William County is strategically positioned at the intersection of the interdependent issues of transportation, jobs and economy. All are inextricably linked; any impact on one is an impact on all; all affect the quality of life for families in Northern Virginia; and all require level-headed, practical, and pragmatic solutions -- all elusive in the Virginia General Assembly and which demand resolution in the near term.
Why should voters elect you?
During my 30-year military career and first term as a state legislator, I acquired the skills to solve complex challenges like those confronting the commonwealth.
