Why should voters elect you?
"I am hardworking, responsive and responsible. I enjoy problem-solving, working with others and providing the best services to our children."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Our most urgent problem is getting our two new schools built in western Loudoun. Just as urgent is the planning for the next set of schools, as we are projected to need 13 new facilities in the next two decades. We are blessed with highly educated parents, hardworking children and excellent teachers and faculty. The educational possibilities for western Loudoun children are endless. I look forward to working with the towns, the county and the school system as we plan for the future of our most precious resource, our children."
What is your plan to address the traffic problems in Virginia?
Traffic is an issue for the school system as well as we need to transport our employee and our children safely on a daily basis. I think the state should be responsible for transportation and I support additional taxes for this purpose. I do not believe we should be using local funding for the construction of roads. As far as a plan, I think there are people with more expertise than I on this issue.
Do you think current policies governing growth & development in your area are too restrictive, not restrictive enough or just right?
just right
