Why should voters elect you?
My 16 years as school board chairman gave me daily interaction at all levels of government, managing more than 9,000 employees and a $1 billion budget.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
The most urgent issues of the clerk of the court's office are a properly resourced office for the workload, a lack of sufficient technology, the need for flexible hours to meet the needs of customers, the need for adequate facilities for all departments and better customer service for all citizens, attorneys and judges. Additionally, I would strongly advocate to the General Assembly and the Supreme Court for adequate magistrates to support the increased population of Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.
What is your plan to address the traffic problems in Virginia?
The office of Clerk of the Court has no jurisdiction over the transportation issue, it is a non-legislative position. However, I would work closely with all levels of government and other elected officials to address critical issues of our communities as I have previously done as Chairman of the School Board and in my other working capacities.
Do you think current policies governing growth & development in your area are too restrictive, not restrictive enough or just right?
