Why should voters elect you?

I care about my community and its assets. I want to see Prince William expand its economic base while preserving its natural resources.

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?

Development and its effects. We need to work hand in hand with the development community to prevent clear-cutting and to implement BMPs [best management practices]. Clustering of homes needs to be encouraged to allow for conservation easements. With proper planning, development and conservation can coexist and thrive.

What is your plan to address the traffic problems in Virginia?

*NR*

Do you think current policies governing growth & development in your area are too restrictive, not restrictive enough or just right?
