Why should voters elect you?
"Involvement with the Green Party and its ecology committee has given me the knowledge to help bring Virginia into a 21st-century alternative energy economy."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Lack of mass transit is the major issue facing Northern Virginia, but it is a symptom of what is wrong with the state and the country. It points to the fact that our education system suffers by not turning out enough world-class mathematicians and engineers, that we remain dependent on carbon-dioxide-emitting, gas-guzzling automobiles and that we are losing our technological edge to the Germans, Japanese, Chinese and other nations on the technologies of the future including maglev high-speed trains. Mass transit is inextricably linked to a clean environment, alternative energy and a healthy citizenry."
