On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The most urgent problem facing Fairfax County is the threat to keeping our families safe. There are 4,000 wanted criminal fugitives walking the streets in our county, and there are gangs in our neighborhoods and schools. As a retired deputy sheriff lieutenant with 23 years of experience, I have seen, the damage that gangs and criminal fugitives have inflicted on our community. As an experienced fugitive detective, I will remove the 4,000 fugitives from our streets and aggressively enforce anti-gang laws. My "tough on crime" agenda and extensive experience will help keep Fairfax families safe.
Why should voters elect you?
I am the most experienced, best-qualified candidate. I have extensive leadership experience in Fairfax County law enforcement, jail operations and courthouse security.
