Why should voters elect you?
"Virginia needs a governor who will do the right thing regardless of political consequence. I am the only candidate who will put people above politics."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Today, Virginia faces political and physical gridlock. We face one of America's worst transportation crises. Since 1986, our leaders have lacked the political will and courage to fix our transportation nightmare. Thus, we have a major crisis on our hands. We can no longer ignore the problem. The time is now to do the right thing regardless of political consequences. That means fixing our transportation crisis. To date, I am the only candidate for governor with a functional, feasible transportation plan that will start fixing transportation from Day One."
