What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"As a native of Vienna, transportation and rising property taxes are top issues. We need to get our fair share of road and school funding from Richmond that will allow us to reduce our property taxes and invest in more transportation solutions. With better representation, we can end the so-called 'Richmond rip-off' once and for all. We also need to get serious about tackling the rising number of gangs operating in our area, because TV commercials, posters and pamphlets are not getting the job done."
Why should voters elect you?
"I have the experience to accomplish things in Richmond. I am loyal to our region and will stand up and fight for Northern Virginia."
