Why should voters elect you?

"I believe voters should reelect me because I have spent the last 14 years listening and addressing the critical needs in the Potomac District."

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

"One of the most critical issues facing Loudoun County is managing growth and development in order to ensure our schools aren't overcrowded and traffic congestion doesn't get worse while we continue to address transportation needs. We must slow our growth by using tools like the comprehensive plan, zoning and subdivision regulations, and capital improvement budgeting. I support increasing local government's power over zoning. That would allow supervisors to reject development plans if roads in the area and the region are too congested to support them. As supervisor, linking transportation to land-use decisions has been one of my top priorities."

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

We face a congestion crisis in Loudoun County and in Northern Virginia and I have been working to provide real solutions. As Supervisor, I have worked to improve access to mass transit, bring metro to Dulles Airport, improve bus service, encourage telecommuting, and make our communities safely accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. We must take action to reduce the number of cars on our roads.

I championed Loudoun’s only transportation bond referendum that raised $50 million for our transportation infrastructure needs. I supported the General Assembly’s recent actions which gave Northern Virginia the tools to raise and spend our own revenue on our critical transportation needs. Additionally, as Vice Chairman of the Board, I worked intimately with our Northern Virginia Delegation and helped provide Loudoun and the region with more than $400 million per year in new revenue to meet our transportation needs.

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

not restrictive enough
