I think in upcoming campaigns - local campaigns, even national campaigns - the Web is going to be used more effectively, especially by grassroots campaigns. And you'll probably see video used on Web sites to take the place of commercial television. |
I'm not going to run any TV ads. I hadn't even considered it - because of the cost. |
If we can get more of this town pedestrian-friendly, we are going to cut down on some of this traffic and gridlock we are all going to be facing in upcoming years. |
It is a great way of communicating at low cost. Web sites level the playing field for a challenger like myself - and they also the opportunity for people to be able to give feedback. |
It was a tremendous way of communicating with the greatest number of people. It was the very first thing that I did as a candidate in the House of Delegates campaign. And we continually added to it. |
The most important thing that the city can do is encourage growth that provides good wages for folks. I very much would like to see a living wage for people at Western State. This was addressed at the University of Virginia recently. They did it for the same reasons - to allow people to have a stake in their community. |
This town means a lot to me. It's been good to my family and it's been good to me. We worked hard last year. We came in second. It's nice to feel a victory. |
We've seen such terrific growth in property values that it's very hard for a person starting out to get a home - and I feel that home ownership is probably the single most important thing in keeping a family together. If you look at economic stability for a family, and being part of a community, home ownership is the number one thing that we should address. |
