Why should voters elect you?

"My experience and business background, community involvement and my commitment to the people of Broad Run above all else."

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

"Bringing business to Loudoun through substantial economic development, getting our traffic moving through public-private partnerships, supporting our kids through enhanced school programs and building our athletic fields, and tempering taxes for seniors."

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

Create public-private partnerships and attract Class A business districts to the Route 7 and 28 corridors - bringing management and professional jobs to Loudoun that will dramatically reduce the need for long commutes and build a commercial tax base that can pay for needed roads. Demand proffers to fund a series of interchanges from Sterling to Leesburg instead of the current Supervisors plan that taxed Loudoun residents with $52 million in road bonds. Build our collector roads, improve the timing of traffic signals and extend the on/off lanes on heavily travelled roads.

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