This past Wednesday, I headed down I-95 for the opening of the 2011 General Assembly session.  As you know, we face some serious challenges.  However, I feel truly blessed to be able to represent my community and to be part of a democratic tradition that stretches back 392 years!  Your feedback is important.  Please respond to my 2011 Constituent Survey and attend my upcoming Town Hall meeting on Saturday, January 29^th from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at the Fairfax City Hall.  I hope to see you there.

Thanks to everyone who provided me with ideas for my 2011 legislative agenda.  I have introduced 15 bills (the maximum allowed) and one study resolution.  I am also the chief co-patron for legislation dealing with transportation and veterans issues.  I will talk more about my individual bills as the session moves along.  In the meanwhile, a full list of my bills can be found by clicking here.
