Public policy reflects our shared aspirations and challenges. Growing up in Prince William County and now living in Loudoun County, I have a deep connection to the 10th District's unique needs, especially around affordable housing and transportation infrastructure.

While in the State Legislature, I championed efforts to tackle homelessness, striving to restore dignity and fortify our communities. My work in human resources was rooted in providing everyone with equal opportunities. My eight years in the Army, focusing on Defense Health Issues, combined with my Congressional roles in National Security and Veterans' policy, have solidified my commitment to our defense personnel and veterans.

My vision for public policy blends personal experiences with the broader needs of our community, always aiming to cultivate a thriving 10th District for everyone.
