Each year in Virginia, we are tasked as citizens of our Commonwealth to exercise a tremendously important obligation: voting for leaders who will help shape our future. We’re inundated with issues, slammed with slogans.

As sure as Spring has sprung (and now Summer too) so too will the city see an increase in quality of life issues. While the city has a strong team of folks working on these issues, we need all citizens to work together to be Good Neighbors.
I, like you, care deeply about our city and its neighborhoods. After all, our city is only as strong as the neighborhoods that comprise it. As the former Vice President of one of our City’s largest HOAs and as a member of the City Council, I know the challenges our home owners are facing every day.
