We should incentivize easements and riparian buffer zones. While growth is natural under most circumstance, we can control that growth to preserve the heritage and environment that many consider inseparable from what Louisa County is to them.

We should require sensible reforestation. While the easy way might be to cut all the mature hardwoods, and replant fast growing pines, is that sustainable over the long run if we want to preserve what has been our natural environment for centuries? The early colonists cut down the Virginia Yellow Pine to extinction—our legacy to the resident in Louisa County should be the opposite.

We also have many villages, crossroads, cemeteries, and sites that are lost to time. As Supervisor, I would champion reclaiming those sites and making them more accessible to everyone. I would go so far as to suggest creating a Louisa Commission to place our own markers, just as the state does.
Schools, roads and housing--but not at the cost of small businesses or higher taxes. The new data centers--though I am against them--should be helping us fund these needs.
I am a lifelong educator committed to having a constant dialogue with my students--or in this case--with my constituents. I will spend as much time in the district as possible, and always make myself available to the citizens of the area.
522 has too much and too heavy a traffic load. It was not engineered for the demands on it. It has not been improved since the 1960s and yet the growth has been exceptional. This is number one priority, along with widening some narrow rural roads and replaced culverts with bridges.
