Why should voters elect you?
I have considerable experience working with the Loudoun school system, and I believe I have some unique insight to address the problems it faces.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Growth. The student population is growing at the rate of about 4,000 new students every year. With that growth rate, the Loudoun school system has doubled in size in the last six years! This rate of growth creates tremendous pressure on the county and the School Board to build/create new facilities and to hire new highly qualified teachers to educate the increasing number of students. The location of new school buildings and their accompanying impact on their neighborhood communities, environment and school boundaries has created additional problems for the school system.
What is your plan to address the traffic problems in Virginia?
Encourage public transportation; advocate work and residential neighborhoods
Do you think current policies governing growth & development in your area are too restrictive, not restrictive enough or just right?
not restrictive enough
