On the Issues

What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Economic growth that is enabled by a well-planned and funded transportation network and excellent schools. We need to stimulate private-sector development to bring jobs to Northern Virginia that are independent of the government, while developing an innovative transportation and telecommuting network to support it. This includes reducing unnecessary and burdensome regulations that hinder starting businesses or impede their growth. The Northern Virginia transportation network should be modeled to analyze transportation projects (including road construction, real-time traffic-flow management, dedicated transit lanes, park-and-ride networks and school transportation needs) and growth impact to proactively get the best return on investment.

Why should voters elect you?

I will represent the people to and protect their rights from their government, tackling issues with logical, solutions-oriented approaches that engage all sides in discussions.
