Richmond Leadership. Northern Virginia Priorities.
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.

Last Friday, my colleagues in the House of Delegates approved Governor McDonnell’s transportation plan by a 65 – 33 vote. The bill, touted by the Governor as ”the largest injection of funding” for transportation in Virginia in recent memory, relies on two funding strategies: borrowing money and tapping the state General Fund, which finances schools, health care, public safety and other core services. The plan, as currently constructed, would leave the Commonwealth further in debt and fails to address anything beyond short-term concerns. Because of these shortcomings, I voted against this version of the Governor’s transportation package. I hope a more responsible plan will come to light before the end of the session.
