What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Fairfax taxpayers receive only 20 cents back for every dollar we send to Richmond. This is not right. This is even less than we received just a few short years ago. And it is hurting our community, our schools and our children. Fairfax deserves better than to pay 27 percent of the state's income taxes and receive just 7.4 percent of state education funding. We need a representative who can fight and win in Richmond."
Why should voters elect you?
"As a husband, father and community activist, I will focus on lowering taxes, getting our fair share from Richmond and improving our schools and roads."
