I’m Running for Reelection to the Arlington County Board

December 4, 2019 By admin

Earlier this evening I announced that I am running for re-election to the Arlington County Board. I’ll be sending a letter (which is copied below for you) to the community, but wanted you to know right away. I’ve been serving Arlington for 23 years now and love my job more than ever. I think I’m also more able than ever to serve Arlington well. I’ve learned a lot in my 23 years. 2020 is going to be a very exciting election year nationally and locally. We’ll be updating my website a little over the holidays, but if you’d like to get involved or contribute, you can sign up there now. As … [Read more...]

Two simple ways to help Virginia

October 13, 2017 By admin

There is an important election this November 7th which will determine the future direction of Virginia and affect our progress in Arlington. Democrats are working hard to keep control of the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General offices, and to begin to take back control of the General Assembly by winning more seats in the House of Delegates. I am both working to support our candidates locally and giving money to good, Democratic legislative candidates running across the Commonwealth. I invite you to join me in contributing, making calls, and/or canvassing. I hope you you can join … [Read more...]

Thank you!

November 9, 2016 By admin

While we are all disappointed and concerned about the outcome of yesterday's national elections, I am honored that I will have the privilege to serve you for four more years on the Arlington County Board. Thank you for your support. I am especially thankful to everyone who worked hard to make this victory happen. First, I must again thank everyone who contributed time, money, and spirit to my primary campaign in the spring. Without you, this general election would not have been possible.

Short-Term Rentals, The Budget, And A Note On Our Democracy

October 20, 2016 By admin

In one sentence of last night’s debate, we heard how much the future of American democracy is at stake in this election. Our nation depends on the peaceful transfer of power. This fall is the fifteenth time I have appeared on a ballot. I have sometimes won and sometimes lost, but every time I have accepted the people’s decision and prepared either to serve or to support the candidate who beat me. This is the essence of how our democracy has worked for 240 years after elections from the White House to the school house. Hillary Clinton is running in this tradition; Donald Trump is not. It could … [Read more...]

Voter Registration Deadline Is Monday; Golden Gala Is Saturday

October 13, 2016 By admin

The election campaign is into the home stretch, and we have a big weekend ahead of us. I want to share three deadlines and activities with you. First, and most important: This Monday is the deadline to register to vote in November’s election here in Virginia. I know that you all are engaged citizens and voters, but this deadline offers one last chance to double check that you are registered at your current address if you recently moved, and that any friends or family who’ve moved, or new 18-year olds you know, are registered. It is possible to register to vote / update your registration … [Read more...]

Affordable Housing, A Fire Station, A Pedestrian Bridge — And You Can Vote Now, Too!

October 4, 2016 By admin

The calendar says October, it finally feels like fall, and the Nats are in the playoffs! We have a busy next five weeks leading up to election day, but before we turn the page, I want to update you on what your County Board was busy doing in September. I have spoken often about our need to maintain a full economic ladder in Arlington, including housing for people of all income levels throughout the county. So, I am pleased that the Board approved a $10.9 million loan from our Affordable Housing Investment Fund to help the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (or APAH) purchase 68 … [Read more...]

Into The Home Stretch…The Voter Registration Deadline Is A Month Away

September 17, 2016 By admin

The weather has finally (maybe?) started to break from the summer heat and the fall campaign is in full swing. After starting off the month with my Democratic ticket-mates at our chili cook-off and participating in the Civic Federation candidates' forum, I am looking forward to a fun weekend of community activities throughout our county. We are also now just one month away from Virginia's voter registration deadline -- October 17th is the last day that we can register to vote in November's election. Do you have friends or family who aren't registered, just turned 18, are new to Virginia, or … [Read more...]
