Dear Friends, Nancy, Matthew and I wish you the happiest of holiday seasons, and I personally want to thank you for all the support you have given me during my time in public service. I am honored to represent Charlottesville and Albemarle and the 57th District, and look forward to working with you in the upcoming year. The upcoming session promises to be difficult, and I need your help as we approach it. I hope you will consider taking my 2011 constituent survey either online or by mail (hard copy surveys will be mailed in January, and you can find an abbreviated survey in the current issue of The Hook). Your responses will help me make important decisions on the budget and thousands of bills that the General Assembly will consider this session. Take the survey by clicking here. Happy holidays to you and your family, and best wishes for a safe and happy New Year.
