"My three decades of service give me a unique position of leadership that provides an effective voice for Fairfax County in the General Assembly."
"Maintaining quality schools and resolving transportation issues are the chief problems facing Fairfax County. As chairman of the House Education Committee, my first priority is safe, high-quality schools for our children. I protected education from budget cuts, and I will continue to provide the leadership necessary to ensure competitive teacher salaries and better accountability in education. My senior position on the House Appropriations Committee means that Fairfax County's transportation needs receive a full share of state funding. Managing and preserving education and transportation gains will be the most significant challenge in the coming General Assembly session."
