I’m working to build a safer, more connected Arlington, with better sidewalks, bike trails, and reliable public transit. Infrastructure should serve the people who use it every dayβ€”and that means putting safety, access, and sustainability first!

The violent manhandling of @SenAlexPadilla is a severe injury to our #Democracy. What's worse: it is an insult to all of us who defend our #constitution and the right of our elected representatives to exercise oversight and hold the administration accountable for their actions. #NoKings
