- Bringing back unity and trust is the challenge of our time. Focusing on shared practical advantages gets us there. For too long the practical work of government in District 45 has gone unfulfilled, and instead our representative has focused on self-serving and divisive issues during one of our country’s most partisan moments. I plan to reverse that trend, and work to reunify the community and the state through inclusive leadership.
- Virginia's District 45, including southern Arlington, eastern Alexandria, and Belle Haven, has historically offered incredible advantages to its residents and businesses. Our diversity of people and opportunities are why my family is here, but the advantages of the area are at risk. Our elected official has offered divisive legislation in Richmond, while ignoring our District’s basic problems, including declining public school quality, unchecked traffic congestion, urban sprawl, declining retail revenue, a sewer system that dumps raw waste into the Potomac, and more.
- My opponents have demonstrated their inability to do the basic work of fair governance. When I'm elected, I'll bring deep experience in solving some of our nation's most complex security, governance and technology challenges. As a former CIA officer, and US Army Special Operations soldier, and current small business owner, professor, and city Commission member, I bring well-researched, thoughtful and non-divisive solutions where others have only brought more division.
