Why should voters elect you?
"As supervisor, I will be the Sterling District's advocate. I will fight to ensure that Sterling receives the county services and amenities we urgently need."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Sterling District is a wonderful but aging community that needs county resources and improvements to revitalize our neighborhoods and address overcrowding and property maintenance issues. Sterling offers some of the most affordable housing in Loudoun County and is one of the few places in Loudoun where our police, teachers and working families can afford to live and raise their families. Communities such as Sterling must be maintained as safe, desirable places to live."
What is your plan to address the traffic problems in Virginia?
Adjoining counties need to work together so that road improvements are cohesive and continual across county lines. I will work to bring Metrorail to Loudoun Co., expand bus service and bicycle lanes, and work with VDOT to synchronize traffic signals for better traffic flow. I will work to attract businesses that offer high quality jobs so that Loudoun residents can live and work in Loudoun Co., shortening commutes.
Do you think current policies governing growth & development in your area are too restrictive, not restrictive enough or just right?
not restrictive enough
