Why should voters elect you?
"As a moderate, I have a proven record of working across party lines to build rail, roads and schools, and putting police officers on the street."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Our quality of life is affected by transportation and education. As a county supervisor, I worked with both parties to improve transportation and education. I was a founder of the Virginia Railway Express, which takes one lane of traffic off Interstate 95. I worked to widen Cardinal Drive and extend Dale Boulevard and the parkway to Route 1. I support higher teacher pay to keep and attract teachers. As delegate, I want to extend HOV past Stafford and increase mass transit to reduce gridlock. I oppose HOT lanes. I am endorsed by the Prince William and Virginia education associations."
