I was elected by the voters of the 44th District to provide leadership on a number of issues. Included in these issues are the following:

• Promote the growth of jobs, economic development, and transportation improvements on the U.S. 1 Corridor.
• Preserve the first-class quality of Fairfax County’s Public Schools and Virginia’s institutions of higher education to give every child in our community the ability to have the greatest opportunity in our society.
• Fight against programs, taxes or budget cuts that do not share burdens equitably across the Commonwealth but instead unfairly focus burdens on Northern Virginia, the most vulnerable, or those with the greatest need.
• Encourage and embrace technology’s capacity to make the government and our society more responsive, transparent, and efficient.
• Encourage investment in programs to develop a green economy, protect our environment, reduce our carbon footprint, and preserve our standard of living for future generations.
• Encourage legal reforms founded on principles of due process, fairness, and upon the right to having a full opportunity to be heard by an impartial judge or a jury of one’s peers.
