| Bob S. Wertz Jr. (R) | |  | | Age: 41
Residence: Ashburn Farm.
Education: BS, business administration, Longwood University; local tax administration courses; course work through the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, University of Virginia.
Occupation: Manager of discovery, audit and relief division, Loudoun County Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue. |
"My 11 years of hands-on experience in the Commissioner of the Revenue Office makes me the qualified candidate for the county's top elected tax post."
"The biggest challenge facing Loudoun is rapid residential growth resulting in overburdening real estate taxes, frequent school redistricting and inadequate transportation infrastructure. Under Virginia's current tax structure, development benefits the state with increased income tax revenue while localities are saddled with the costs of building new schools and providing the public safety, recreational and other services residents require. Virginia should reward Loudoun's economic development successes with better transportation infrastructure and more money for schools. I will actively participate in legislative efforts to retain local control over revenue programs and return more of Loudoun-generated income tax dollars to Loudoun."
