WELCOME
Welcome to my web site. As a resident of the 39th District for 40 years, I've worked with many dedicated citizens to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods, in Fairfax County, and in Virginia. Each year, I take on the challenge of bringing these issues and your concerns to the General Assembly.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The 2012 Session ended March 10th but we had to return several times to pass the Budget. Action finally ended after midnight May 14th. Here's the latest on Virginia's economy. Here is the latest on Virginia's economy.
Many important issues we work on affect all of our daily lives and the future of Virginia. Please read more under Vivian's Views about the work I've done and that I am committed to do in the future with the economy, transportation, community concerns, education, environment, crime, human services, senior citizens, and many other important issues, including bills I've gotten passed.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you wish to share. It is a challenge to balance the best interests of all of the citizens of the 39th District and to be sure that these decisions will stand the test of time. I hope I will continue to have your trust. |
Reality of Transportation Funding -- 2012 (revised 3/17/12) I pulled together this power point to cut through claims and headlines. Without a clear understanding of the size and breath of the very serious problem we face, meaningful action won't happen.
My battle for transportation funds dominated my late night work in the 2012 General Assembly, but the fight to control woman's health decisions dominated the headlines.
While we stopped the attempt to force an invasive internal unltrasound, the battle over women's health decisions is far from over. This is a video about the Personhood bill that passed the House. The Senate is set to act on this bill in 2013. This is an overview of the major bills. And, here is my assessment of the legal issues at stake.
I only have funds for one newsletter. Since I didn't get the addresses of all my new voters until late September, I didn't send out a newsletter in 2011. This year's will be out in July.
Meanwhile, here's a link to my 2010 Newsletter and other news articles and posts:
