"If you want to change Washington, you have to change who you send."
I am running for Congress because I want to bring the creative problem-solving ability, solution-focused thinking, vision and leadership that I have as an architect to the issues we face today and in our future.  As I spend the coming months meeting and talking to people from across our district and our country, I ask for your help and your financial support in my campaign to bring new leadership to Congress.

Some have said that my life is the quintessential American story.  I am the son of a disabled Korean War veteran.  My mother raised two sons as a single parent.  I am a small-town kid who made his way from a community college to Harvard and became a successful architect in Boston and Washington, D.C.  After a successful early career, I stepped away from architecture for 11 years to be a stay-at-home father for my twin boys and to be an advocate for my special-needs son.  Now I hear the call to public service and I am running for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 10th Congressional District of Virginia. 

I see America today at the beginning of a decades-long period of transformation.  Challenges with the economy, energy, the environment, transportation, education and the demands placed upon our families will require a new understanding, new ideas and new leadership in Congress.  What we see on the horizon are not the problems of the 1980s or ‘90s, and today’s Washington mentality of winning and losing will fail us in meeting these challenges.  Voters want their voices to be heard, not become fodder for partisan political battles.  If you want to change Washington, you have to change who you send.
