Issue positions
Albo's official site lists an overview of his top priorities:[6]
- Building roads and rail for a faster commute so that we have more time with our families
- Keeping our schools the same quality I had when I went to Fairfax Public Schools with quality buildings and small class sizes
- Getting our children into Virginia Colleges and Universities
- Making our neighborhoods safe so our children can safely play in the neighborhood
- Preserving open space and keeping our air and water clean so we are not run over by development and thise are wonderful places for kids to play outdoors
- Limiting Taxes so that while we can build roads and schools, we can also still afford to live in Fairfax County.
