You worked for Verizon as a corp. exec. and counsel previously and in 2009 decided to run for state office. You should know better: the Red Hammer & Sickle display behind Carter while he was speaking, Not cute..
Del. Lee J. Carter represents parts of Prince William Co. (Manassas), and in the legislative session segment seen on VIDEO correctly emphasizes the growing issue that residents of his area face concerning outside developers coming in to build higher cost properties that will possibly force people out of a region already known for continuous sprawl, traffic congestion, rising housing costs and longer commutes.
His constituents having to move further and further out, away from the DC Metro Area in order to find affordable housing beyond Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier and Stafford County exurbia, to other places in Va. like Petersburg is not inconceivable. Overdevelopment and all that comes with it is a serious matter in Va. esp. in the last 20+ years.
Effective and hard working, Rep. Carter of Manassas addresses the needs of the people, his constituents and district. Last Nov. he ran for office for the first time and beat the GOP Majority House Whip. Impressive. Carter's record and background as an IT specialist and former Marine is outstanding. Keam, of Vienna, Va., and since 2010 Delegate from parts of Fairfax Co., not so much.
