‘Tis the season for project deadlines, packed calendars, ribbon cuttings, and meetings galore. And some oaths of office and holiday parties for good measure. This week, I was officially sworn in for my second term that begins in the new year. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent you […]
I hope your holiday season is off to a great start. We are wrapping up 2019 with packed City Council dockets. Between this week’s work session, next Monday’s meeting (last one for 2019), and next Thursday’s town hall, we will be covering nearly every big topic. You should read on […]
‘Tis the season for thankfulness, so I’ll kick off this week’s post with a thank you for this engaged community and the regular input I receive from you, most recently about scooters.

Lots to share and opportunities for you to engage: more details on the 10 acre development (the West Falls Church development project), scooters, transportation grants (those who have expressed concerns about safety on Shreve Rd and would like […]
Thank you for your tremendous support in my re-election and for the opportunity to serve a second term. I’m honored to continue to work with my colleagues to move Falls Church forward, to listen and be responsive to your concerns, and to tackle tough challenges like affordability that will help […]

(Citizens who typically vote in the Community […]
We had no City Council meeting this week and will resume next Tuesday after Indigenous People’s Day*. Rather than take a week off – this week’s post will be a hodge-podge of important PSAs, links to surveys on the Environment and Wayfinding (fancy word for signs to help people find […]
Eagle-eyed readers will see that this week’s post is hitting your inboxes/blog readers a day early. I’m writing early to remind you that there are two good events tonight: (1) Election Day is about a month away, and one of the first candidates forums is tonight, October 3 for School […]
Thank you for all the great feedback and questions following the last few posts about scooters, the end of year financial surplus, and library project. If you missed the posts, catch them here and here, and you can still send us your thoughts. We’ll be revisiting these topics in October […]
