Why should voters elect you?

"I've served my country in the Navy and in the Department of Homeland Security. I'm an activist and, in Richmond, I won't back down."

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

"Transportation and illegal immigration. We need to take action on our Northern Virginia transportation crisis by making it the 'first bill of the month' in the General Assembly. Northern Virginia gets back only 46 cents on every dollar we send to Richmond. We must get our fair share. In addition, people here illegally are draining our tax dollars and committing crimes. We need to cut off public benefits for them, and deport those arrested for criminal actions."

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

STOP TOLL lanes on I-95. Make sure that income tax dollars are spent on traffic problems in NOVA. Also, expand OMNIRIDE bus service by increasing its hours and adding routes.

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

not restrictive enough
