Q8: What steps should the state be taking now to prepare the county for the next BRAC round?

Q9: How can you ensure that the county will continue to get its fair share of school construction funds?

Q10: How do you envision helping to control property taxes?

Background: Delegates are elected by the voters to serve four-year terms. Each legislative district sends three delegates for a total of 141 members of the House. You will vote for one candidate from your district.

Note: The questions were submitted by members of the audience and selected by the LWV staff. In some cases, more than one question was consolidated into a single topic for the candidates. Since the questions are framed by the audience, some things may be implied that are not necessarily true.
