Thank you for your tremendous support in my re-election and for the opportunity to serve a second term. I’m honored to continue to work with my colleagues to move Falls Church forward, to listen and be responsive to your concerns, and to tackle tough challenges like affordability that will help […]
What a week! I hope everyone fared ok after last night’s Halloween storms and a week of high anxiety, late nights, and celebration during World Series fever. As we head into the final weekend before Election Day on next Tuesday, November 5th, this post will be mostly PSAs, an important […]
We’re in the home stretch of the campaign season. With just over 10 days until Election Day, we’ve wrapped up our many candidate forums, completed the last questionnaire, planted yard signs, and knocked on many doors. (The School Board candidates have one forum remaining – at the Elementary PTA meeting […]
