Why should voters elect you?
"Endorsed by Gov. Warner and Republican Jim Dillard, I bring 31 years in criminal justice and a moderate, bipartisan agenda to move Fairfax County forward."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Protecting our quality of life here in Fairfax County will be my first priority. I will work across party lines to defend the bipartisan budget reform passed by Gov. Warner and mainstream Republicans in 2004 that brought over $50 million to improve Fairfax County schools and over $60 million to cut down on traffic gridlock. I will also use my 31 years of experience in criminal justice to enact an eight-point plan to crack down on youth gangs and illegal immigration.
