At the beginning of the General Assembly Session, I introduced 27 bills benefiting the citizens of Herndon, Sterling, Oak Hill, and Virginia.  I am proud to say that 4 bills have been approved by the Governor, 7 bills were rolled into other bills which were approved by the Governor, and 5 bills have passed in the House and Senate.  There are numerous other bills which I have co-patroned which are waiting action by the Governor.  These bills cover issues such as transportation, school construction, residential overcrowding illegal immigration, payday lending, and mental health to name a few.  As a member of four House Committees (Transportation, Education, Commerce and Labor, and Science and Technology), I reviewed hundreds of bills, sat in countless hours of meetings, and met with numerous citizens all in an effort to make the Commonwealth of Virginia a great place to live.  I always look forward to hearing from my constituents on issues that they are interested in.  I am proud to serve the citizens of Herndon, Sterling, and Oak Hill.  Thank you for giving me this opportunity.
