As a lifelong resident of the area, I've experienced decades of change in the Falls Church community. I want to see our community continue to thrive with a local neighborhood vibe, outstanding public education, and sustainable development all within a green oasis where all types of people and families want to and can afford to live.
A Platform for A Better City
1. Open Responsive Government that considers the needs and desires of all Falls Church residents.
2. Public schools that continue to push the boundaries of exceptional.
3. Grow Falls Church in an economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable way.
Economic sustainability – growth proposals consider all of the economic impacts including infrastructure capacity to meet new growth without unnecessarily shifting costs and burdens to taxpayers and utility rate payers.
Environmental sustainability – energy efficiency, design and use of renewable sources, real green spaces, tree canopy, and practices resulting in clean air and water.
Social sustainability – creating a City that meets the needs, and supports or improves the welfare, of all residents.
4. Value for taxpayers including an efficient staffing structure to best provide services to the community.
5. Stewardship because City Council responsibility does not end with approvals - making sure we get what we bargained for as time goes on is critical.
If elected, my goal is to help ensure that City Council listens to all community members, new and old, when considering actions. Together, we can exceed our collective goals.
