I had a great Labor Day weekend — starting at the NoVA Labor Picnic on Sunday and finishing at the @arlingtondems Chili Cookoff yesterday. It was a reminder that the labor movement has always been about dignity, fairness, and opportunity — values we must defend and strengthen.

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 day—and that means putting safety, access, and sustainability first!
