Issue Position: Standing Strong Against Toll Hikes

Issue Position

I oppose increasing the economic burden of tolls here in Loudoun County as well as on commuter roads Eastern Loudoun families utilize to get to and from work. Since 2000, the cost for an end-to-end trip on the Dulles Greenway has gone from $2 to $6.50. That's a "road tax" increase of more than 320% for the residents of Ashburn, most of whom travel to only one or two exits. We need to either implement "distance-based pricing," which would prorate routes between exits, or purchase the Greenway from the developer and add it to the VDOT system. My opponent accepts thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from toll road investors and then fails to co-patron legislation to reduce your toll burden. I will never put special interest money above the interests of you and your family.
