Why should voters elect you?
"My track record as a delegate in passing laws improving education, the environment, affordable health care, fighting identity theft, domestic violence, child and senior abuse."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Gridlock has caused us to spend more time on congested roads than with our families, contributing to increased health problems and inefficient energy use. Addressing this, I support comprehensive legislation that promotes smart and controlled growth, greater mass transit and sound transportation solutions that minimize damage to the environment and local communities. For example, the Purple Line will connect people to work, home and other communities while reducing congestion and pollution. Creative legislation to provide tax incentives to employers for transportation subsidies to employees for mass transportation use, carpooling and telecommuting are other proactive and sensible options."
