Welcome to...
Virginia House of Delegates 48th District!
Virginia’s 48th Delegate District covers much of north Arlington and the area along the Potomac from Chain Bridge to National Airport. 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’ve championed in Richmond, and my stand on the issues that matter to Arlington, Northern Virginia, and the Commonwealth.
I encourage you to visit my website often. Through the blog on this page I intend to keep you informed on what I see happening on a state level and what it means for Arlington. Please contact me if you have any questions or if there’s an issue involving state government that I can help you resolve.
