Why should voters elect you?

"Because I am the best qualified candidate and because I will be a working sheriff."

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

"The most urgent problem is illegal immigration, with its consequential negative impact in the community. The border has moved up to Prince William County as a result of Washington's inability to deal with the problem where it begins. We must enforce the Virginia Code and local ordinances within the parameter allowed by law and the rights granted under our Constitution. Illegal gangs and their criminal activities are also a derivative of the same problem. Every local law enforcement agency must cooperate and work with ICE and other federal agencies to solve the problem."

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

The traffic problems in Virginia are being exarcebated by over building and increased local proffers can have a deterrent to rampant construction. Mass transit and other public forms of transpoortation can help. Limiting truck traffic (certain hours and days)on roads and highways used by commuters should be a first step in having less congestion during rush hours. Zero tolerance traffic enforcement and having squads of traffic officers to respond to troubled areas should help. An improved way of dealing with major crashes can also help. Offering incentives to motorists to use public transportation can reduce traffic in roads and highways. And ultimately, the desire to eliminate the problem by electing creative and productive politicians may help. And finaly, providing jobs close to home can improve the quality of life for everyone and result in clean, healthy air. Every citizen can and must help to solve the problem.

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