On the Issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Education, both K-12 and higher education, is the No. 1 expense in the commonwealth and in most counties in Virginia. With my education financial restructuring plans, we'll be able to lower property taxes, pay K-12 teachers more and make higher education more affordable for Virginia citizens.
Why should voters elect you?
I have a platform that resonates with all of the citizens of the district: improving education, lowering small business taxes and better veterans support.
