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 children's schools. As a retired deputy sheriff lieutenant with 23 years of experience, I have seen first hand 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 county 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 have the vision and expertise to keep Fairfax families safe. I will work tirelessly to address your concerns and look forward to serving you.
