Reason for Seeking Public Office:
"I am running for Congress because of my love for Northern Virginia, this exciting, dynamic and diverse community, and I want to serve all the people who live here. I am running for Congress because I'm concerned that the very principles of freedom, democracy and human rights that I have been fighting so hard for abroad are being weakened here at home in America, and the quality of life in Virginia is under strain."
