Welcome to...
Virginia House of Delegates 48th District!
As redrawn in 2011, Virginia’s 48th Delegate District includes the area in Northern Virginia covering north Arlington, as well as much of McLean from the Arlington border to the Beltway. It also runs along the Potomac from Chain Bridge to National Airport and Crystal City.
I’m proud to have represented the 48th District’s citizens in Richmond since 1998. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read about my background, the legislation I have championed in Richmond, and my stand on issues that matter to Northern Virginia and the Commonwealth.
I encourage you to visit my website often. Please contact me if you have any questions or if there’s an issue involving state government that I can help you resolve.

On April 10, ground was broken for Long Bridge Park, a new urban park and recreational facility at the north end of Crystal City. The former industrial site is one of the largest remaining pieces of open space in Arlington. The project will both reclaim a contaminated “brownfield” (which once housed a scrapyard, concrete company, and vehicle towing and storage yards) and add badly needed parkland.
Phase I of park development will add three lighted athletic fields, picnic areas, and restrooms and storage facilities. In a partnership with Arlington County, Marymount University will fund the construction costs of one of the fields in exchange for use of the field by the University’s soccer and lacrosse teams.
One of the most dramatic features of Phase I will be a half-mile long raised walkway — the “Esplanade” — that will connect the park and its recreational facilities. The Esplanade will be designed for strolling, bicycle riding, and other leisure activities, with dramatic views of the Potomac and monuments and other sights across the river.
