On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Many issues need immediate attention. We must cut debt; commence off-shore drilling; improve Route 7, Route 50 and Waxpool Road; promote jobs; strive to eliminate Lyme disease; and stop Obamacare. As delegate, I helped fix Route 28 by replacing 13 stoplights with flyovers, helped pass the most significant pro-life and pro-gun laws in Virginia's history, and successfully sued, blocking 14 new Democrat-supported taxes.

Why should voters elect you?

I'm the only candidate who has won eight contested elections, represented Loudoun County, served in the General Assembly or served in the military.
