lowering taxes is all that the government can do, or needs to do, to help create jobs. He claims to favor moving to renewable energy, but proposes increased use of natural gas, which is not renewable and puts carbon in the air. Finally, I am running because I have been a progressive Democrat my entire life, concerned with how to help our economy work for all our citizens, how to help those in poverty lift themselves up, how to better train and educate everyone to be good citizens and productive workers, and how to “unrig” the system that now favors the rich and powerful at the expense of the rest of us. In sum, I believe in ideas, not ideology, and policies, not politics.

It has been my honor to serve the citizens of the


10th District in the Virginia House of Delegates for the past four years, and I welcome the opportunity to continue my advocacy of sound, fi scally respon- sible policies which create jobs, preserve a favorable business climate, and lead to meaningful transporta- tion improvements in our region. I am committed to strengthening the economic base of our rural regions while preserving scenic and historic areas which are a distinct and valued aspect of the 10th District. During my past four years in the House of Delegates,


I have patroned and secured passage of important bills improving our regional and rural roads, fostering cost- effective, transparent, and ethical government opera- tions, and strengthening our local schools. While I am proud of the progress that has been made, the work needs to continue. I am exploring opportunities that will enhance the availability to alternative energy sources for consumers while encouraging the develop- ment of an industry that has tremendous growth po- tential. Another need I plan to address is the expanded


and improved broadband services and connectivity in underserved rural and low density areas of Virginia. As delegate, I consider myself as a servant-leader duty bound to follow the admonition in Article I, Sec- tion 2 of our Virginia Constitution: Article I. Bill of Rights, Section 2. People the source of power: All power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people, that magistrates are their trustees and servants, and at all times amenable to them.
