On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The three major problems facing Loudoun County are drugs, illegal immigration and gangs, with drugs being the nexus between crimes of violence and many property crimes. Drug trafficking funds gang activities; drug sales (and drug debt) are often responsible for violent crimes, such as assaults and robberies; and drug use contributes to domestic violence, lost work and lost wages. Sophisticated crime, such as complex financial theft, terrorist activities, cyber crime and human trafficking are also emerging as significant threats to Loudoun County.
Why should voters elect you?
Experience, education and a global, local and private-sector understanding and application of law enforcement. Drug law enforcement expert who understands the importance of prevention and treatment.
