Arlington County Board

Top Issues

Housing I would work to increase housing options in Arlington County by incentivizing all new high-rise rental developers to include condos in their proposals. This would help Arlington's new residents build financial equity and have a higher stake in their community. Government Reform As I work to maintain Arlington beautiful, I would revise the use of political signs on roadway medians in Arlington. Weak rules allow candidates to spam our public land for 100 days out of the year. Political signs on median strips must be restricted in time and location. Government Reform When elected, I will vote to increase voter representation in Arlington County by supporting Delegate Patrick Hope’s bill (HB 2768). The bill seeks to improve our form of government and create district-specific representation on the County Board.
