I am honored that the citizens of the 86th District have elected me to continue as your Delegate - Thank You!  It was a long and difficult campaign, but I'm thankful to everyone who supported me, especially the volunteers who worked countless hours - we couldn't have done it without you!  I also want to thank my wife (and biggest fan), Ann, who shared many sleepless nights with me.
 
With the campaign over, I will begin the work of putting together my legislative package for the 2010 General Assembly session.  I predict that this session will likely be the most difficult any legislator has had to deal with since the Depression.  Tough decisions will have to be made, and of course, not all will be popular.  As your Delegate, I will strive to tackle the problems that concern us the most:  creating jobs, improving transportation for Northern Virginia, and giving our children a quality education.
 
I'm excited to work with Governor-elect McDonnell, his team, and the 20 (yes 20) new members of the House.  We all love Virginia and together I believe we can build a better Virginia through hard work, dedication, and perseverance.  I look forward to serving as your Delegate for another term.  As always, I encourage you to let me know your thoughts and ideas on making Virginia a better place to live, work, and play.
 
Thank you,
