Why should voters elect you? "For me, honesty, integrity, character and courage always come first. I have always treated this office as a great public trust and I always will."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction? "Improving transportation. A balanced transportation network is critical to maintaining prosperity and quality of life. For more than 20 years I have been involved in almost every major transportation improvement in our region including building the Metro system, widening Interstate 66 inside and outside the Beltway, rebuilding the Wilson Bridge, promoting telework. I have been the leader in bringing Metro to Dulles and synchronizing stoplights to improve traffic flow. Our region also is facing a growing threat from gang violence. Through my leadership, the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force was formed and funded to help keep our neighborhoods safe."
