Why should voters elect you?
"I am a hands-on, energetic consensus builder with a proven track record of leadership in the community on a broad range of issues."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Our most critical issue is to maintain our quality of life while ensuring that fixed-income and young families can afford to call Fairfax home. The region faces a complex range of interdependent issues, such as adequately funding public education, confronting the problem of gangs, investing in multi-modal transportation systems and conserving our natural resources. The General Assembly must have the foresight to plan for how to deal with these issues and to make the necessary investments in our infrastructure. At the same time, we must diversify the local revenue base to reduce our reliance on the real property tax."
