Albemarle citizens have prioritized clean air, water quality, and protection of natural resources and biodiversity.

• Led the effort to strengthen the water protection ordinance and enforce buffers to protect our streams and rivers;
• Successfully worked to obtain funding for the County’s solid waste facility – the transfer station;
• Opposed the stormwater utility fee after careful study and listening to community concerns. I agreed with those who preferred to raise revenue through the existing tax structure of the General Fund. The state and federally-required stormwater work on the County workplan was widely supported throughout the process and is currently underway.
