Why should voters elect you?
"I will do a better job addressing our challenges because of my proven record of bipartisan leadership, common sense and willingness to pursue bold solutions."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Leadership that is out of touch. During the incumbent's tenure, our traffic has become third-worst in the nation, we've gone from having two to 84 gangs threatening our community, property taxes are up 150 percent and our new schools are crowded on opening day. While the incumbent claims 'miraculous' progress, his unwillingness to recognize these problems threatens the quality of our public life. I have a blueprint for progress, a detailed and aggressive plan to address these challenges: www.gregfordelegate.com. That's why Gov. Warner, educators, business leaders, law enforcement officers, firefighters and conservationists have endorsed my candidacy."
