On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
With two BRAC buildings scheduled to open at either end of the district and little to no improved infrastructure to deal with the thousands of additional commuters, a serious traffic problem could soon be a nightmare not only for the 30th District but for the whole region. We must quickly put in place road improvements and mass transit options that will alleviate the impact of thousands of additional commuters. Construction must be completed before workers occupy the building and must move us toward a transit network for this district and region that can move people efficiently and affordably.
Why should voters elect you?
Only my record shows the kind of vision and ability needed to work effectively statewide and in the region on the large issues we face.
