Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my website. I am seeking the Republican nomination for the 27th District (Winchester, Frederick, Fauquier, western Loudoun and Clarke) Senate seat for three reasons:

To protect taxpayers and our economy from burdensome tax increases.

To support and promote family friendly policies especially in education.

To control unrestricted growth.

Our special corner of Virginia deserves a Senator who is in touch with the concerns of the people. As Vice Mayor of Middleburg, I have worked with my colleagues to solve town problems without taxing families more. I have proven that an elected official can successfully reach across party lines, and not leave his commitment to core conservative principles behind. I look forward to bringing that experience of fighting taxes and balancing budgets to the State Senate. I look forward to bringing my understanding of our communities’ concerns over the problems associated with unrestricted growth to the State Senate. It is an issue overlooked by our legislature in Richmond. At the State level I will continue to work, as I have at the local level for more than a decade in public office, to provide our communities with the tools necessary to control their own destiny. I have walked through the villages, towns, and cities of our district and these issues of fighting taxes, supporting families, and reining in growth – the issues to which I have dedicated my public service career - are the issues on which our fellow citizens long for leadership.

I vow to represent, and fight for, the residents of the 27th district, not the agenda and ulterior motives of special interest groups in Richmond. I ask you for your support. To win this campaign for the taxpayers, parents, and citizens of our district, it will take the commitment and involvement of many volunteers to get out our low tax, pro-family, smart growth message. I hope I can count on you.

Thank you and God Bless America.
