About Me
As 15-year residents of Lovettsville in Loudoun County, my wife Betty and I share a deep concern about the future of our beautiful, historic and fast- growing area. Building on a longstanding record of community
service, I am committed to serving all the people of the 33rd District in the House of Delegates, in contrast to our one-term incumbent, who serves only the extreme fringe of his own political party. To ensure good quality of life and economic prosperity now and for those who follow us, we must take practical actions to adequately fund public education, to improve transportation, and to care for the health of all our citizens. In the past, Republicans and Democrats traditionally cooperated to improve people’s lives, the prosperity of businesses, and the justice of our laws and regulations. This willingness to serve the common good has been lost in Richmond, as in Washington.
I will use knowledge
gained through my international and national negotiation and confl ict resolution experience to work across the aisle and restore public education funding; improve transportation; attract investment and jobs; and enhance the health of our citizens. Furthermore, to respond to the critical needs of the 33rd
District, I will
pursue policies that build on our agricultural heritage and promote value-added farming and agritourism as well as farmland preservation. I will help older citizens to stay in their homes as
long as possible, by ensuring that our elders receive tax credits to help make their homes safe and secure and access to the services they need. We must increase state public
education
expenditures. It defi es common sense for state public education expenditure to have decreased 17% since 2008, while our school-age population is growing by 10% per decade. The state’s projected budget surplus should be invested fi rst and foremost in public education. I will work with state and local offi cials to provide teachers the pay they are due, because they have been ignored in the recent economic downturn. Transportation is a severe problem throughout the 33rd district, but my opponent has done nothing to address congestion on routes 7, 9 and 37. I will use my 37 years of transportation experience to achieve practical measures to reduce costly congestion. We also have an obligation to provide quality health
care to all our people. I have seen my wife go from zero to stage III breast cancer between mammograms in less than one year, and we understand the costs
and stresses such a diagnosis creates. Among the
400,000 Virginians without health insurance that the current House of Delegates turns its back on, some 25,000 women will get breast cancer and not receive timely treatment. The women and families of Virginia deserve better.

About Me
Over the last months and years, I’ve had the privilege of representing the good people of the 33rd District in Virginia’s General Assembly. One of the most enjoyable parts of this job for me and my family is going door-to-door across the district and getting to know the thousands of neighbors that live nearby. I’ve been able to meet many of you personally, and if we haven’t met yet, I hope to soon!
I’m passionate about making Virginia a better place
to live, work, raise a family and do business. If you hire me again as your delegate, some of my top priorities for the next session are: • Helping Virginia on the road to economic recovery. Many people are still struggling to fi nd work and make ends meet, and I believe the legislature can take care- ful steps to grow the availability of good jobs. Expand- ing rural broadband access is one such step that I’m

excited to help advance, as branching high speed in- ternet access out to rural communities makes it easier for businesses to branch out and entrepreneurs to get started. I’m also working with local businesses and fel- low legislators to tap into Northern Virginia’s enor- mous potential as a leader in cybersecurity, an indus- try that holds vast employment potential. Along with fellow delegates, I’m pushing back against the crush- ing EPA regulations that threaten to drive up heating bills and business costs all over Virginia in the near future.
• I want to see our road problems fi xed. Northern Virginians have to deal with some of the worst traf- fi c in the nation, and that’s why I passed legislation last session to improve our transportation spending by requiring rating of ALL transportation projects. We still
have more work to do to make sure our transportation spending aligns with practical goals like eas- ing congestion. I’m also working to get the word out about the Governor’s plan to stick it to com- muters by en- acting an outra- geous $17 toll for I-66 users. This is a hor- rible plan, as it bilks our citizens for an outrageous sum and will do nothing to help our
traffi c woes. Virginia’s educa- tion system needs improvement. Last session I led the effort to protect
our schools from a Federal Common Core takeover and to expand educational options for special needs children. It’s my intention to make sure that the promise of a good education is open to every child in our Commonwealth.
These are just some of the issues that I’ll focus on if
you honor me with the opportunity to serve again as your delegate. If you have any suggestions or would like my assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me at (540) 751-8364 or visit
