Why should voters elect you?
"I have lived in my district my entire life. I understand my constituents and I would like to continue to fight to better their lives."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"There is an urgent need to relieve traffic congestion throughout Northern Virginia. We have the third-largest state-maintained road network in the country, and we can better maintain it by raising the current 17.5-cent gasoline tax by 5.5 cents to increase revenue while remaining competitive with neighboring states. The new governor also needs to call a special legislative session to find another dedicated funding source for road and rail construction. But nothing is more important than public education. I supported Gov. Warner's tax reform and budget plans last year, which provided a record $1.5 billion increase in public school funding."
