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

"Transportation. My district is at the confluence of Routes 50, 66, 28 and the Fairfax County Parkway, and as such our roads are vital to the quality of life. That quality is declining as the gridlock gets worse every year. We must address transportation through a statewide coalition in order to access the resources necessary to meet Northern Virginia's needs. In this I am a leader in the House."

Why should voters elect you?

"I have the experience, dedication and expertise to help solve the problems facing my district and Northern Virginia."
