Why should voters elect you?

"Unequaled experience, proven dedication and a workable vision for Leesburg's and Loudoun County's future."

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

"Bringing transportation infrastructure improvements to Loudoun County to reduce the traffic congestion and improve traffic flow, without putting an undue tax burden on the shoulders of our residents."

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

I plan to continue to work on the traffic problems in Loudoun County while working with my counterparts in surrounding jurisdictions. I plan to not limit myself to Fairfax, Prince William, and Clake Counties alone but also to reach out to bordering Maryland jurisdictions to solve some of our common traffic issues. The problems are not just local but are regional in nature and will take a concerted effort by all to come up with a regional answer to address everyone's concerns.

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

just right
