  • M.L. 'Mike' Corrigan (D)

    Age: 54.

    Residence: Reston.

    Education: BA, mathematics, Fordham College; MA, mathematics, University of Michigan.

    Occupation: Telecommunications consultant, Warren H. Suss Associates.

    Elected offices/civic activities: Assistant commissioner, General Services Administration; special assistant, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (C3I); vice president, telecommunications, EDS Government Systems; chairman, Internet Engineering Task Force; captain, U.S. Army.

    Family: Mary Ann, spouse; one son, 20, and one daughter, 24.

    Why should the voters elect you? "To improve health care, transportation and education we need government, industry, universities and nonprofits working together. I have over 30 years' experience in making government work. This experience includes helping to transition the Internet from the military to the public sector and running the federal government system that lowered long-distance telephone costs by over 80 percent. The government's buying power can similarly reduce the cost of prescription drugs through market competition. But we won't see lower costs as long as we continue to elect politicians dependent on campaign financing provided by large corporations (including drug companies)."

    Tell us what you think is the most urgent problem facing Virginians. "Traffic congestion grinds away our quality of life. We need new roads, better public transportation, effective telecommuting, smart growth and affordable housing."

    Thomas M. Davis III (R) *incumbent

    Age: 51.

    Residence: Ravenwood,Falls Church.

    Education: BA, Amherst College; JD, University of Virginia.

    Occupation: Member, U.S. House of Representatives.

    Elected offices/civic activities: U.S. Army, 1971-72; Army Reserves, 1972-79; member (1979-94) and chairman (1991-94), Fairfax County Board of Supervisors; vice president and general counsel, PRC Inc., 1977-94; charter member and past president of the Baileys Crossroads Rotary Club.

    Family: Peggy, spouse; one son and two daughters.

    Why should the voters elect you? "Voters should reelect me because of my time-tested record of public service. Since my years as a county supervisor to my current position in House leadership, I have remained dedicated to the wants and needs of my constituents: safe, prosperous communities; strong schools; efficient government; creative transportation solutions. I have been a strong advocate for federal employees and contractors. I have helped get D.C. back on its feet. And I have fought to pay down the debt and safeguard Social Security and Medicare, while sending much of the surplus back where it belongs—to the hardworking taxpayers."

    Tell us what you think is the most urgent problem facing Virginians. "Anything that threatens our quality of life: traffic gridlock; overcrowded, under- performing schools; any regulations that undermine the tremendous growth in the high-technology industry."

    C.W. 'Levi' Levy (I)

    Age: 68.

    Residence: Fairfax County.

    Education: BA, fine arts, George Mason University.

    Occupation: Publisher of Levite Chronicle.

    Elected offices/civic activities: None.

    Family: Never married; no children.

    Why should the voters elect you? "My cat laughs when I pick up brown dead leaves from the tall tree that have fallen onto the long green American holly bushes growing in front of our apartment house. My cat knows that just changing a name or two does not make a political party liberal and that real reforms are needed to attract and hold idealistic voters. In my own politics, I try to remain as independent as my cat. My cat always knows best."

    Tell us what you think is the most urgent problem facing Virginians. "Encouraging all voters to participate in the voting process is the most urgent problem facing Virginians and citizens all over the United States of America."


    Robert K. McBride (Libertarian)

    Age: 43.

    Residence: Prince William County.

    Education: College of William and Mary; Radford University.

    Occupation: Information technology engineer, senior systems analyst, TROY Systems Inc.

    Elected offices/civic activities: Chairman, Libertarian Party of Prince William County; candidate for chairman of the Board of County Supervisors (1999); homeowners association officer; graduate of the Prince William County Leadership Institute; volunteer school tutor.

    Family: Laura Anderson McBride, spouse; Mischa, spoiled dog.

    Why should the voters elect you? "I'm just an ordinary citizen who is tired of 'politics as usual,' who sees little difference between Democrats and Republicans, and who is concerned about 'career politicians' in Washington selling political favors with our tax money. I think my personal and professional experience qualifies me to become the citizen-representative our area needs. I've been a white-collar, blue-collar, and no-collar worker. I'm a Northern Virginia native, a former federal employee, a high-tech worker, and a professional musician. I'm offering a real choice in this election and I hope it encourages all those turned-off voters to turn out on Election Day."

    Tell us what you think is the most urgent problem facing Virginians. "Congestive growth and traffic are deteriorating our quality of life. Ironically, many of the contributing factors are caused or made worse by government actions."
