Why should voters elect you?
"I'll continue to effectively work in the majority party in Richmond to improve our schools, address our transportation challenges and fight for lower taxes."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Irresponsible growth. Whether it is our congested roads, crowded schools or longer response times by police, fire and rescue services, the out-of-control growth is our biggest challenge because it affects everything that impacts our quality of life. We must better manage growth, ensuring that the necessary infrastructure (schools, roads, fire stations, etc.) is in place before the new development is built. We also need to make sure development/planning decisions are being made based on common sense by taking the money and politics out of these decisions. Politicians need to work for the people they represent, not the special interests."
