When Lori ran for office in 2003, out of control taxes and government spending were her top concern. Instead of trying to fund every pet project, Lori has fought to force the Loudoun County government to set funding priorities by separating the "needs" from the "wants."

Going line-by-line and department-by-department, Lori has voted to focus funding on schools and public safety, but even these agencies must live within a reasonable budget so that the families they seek to serve can still afford to live in Loudoun.

Lori has voted against the budget five out of six years because the tax burden on residents was so significant. Lori has consistently voted to cut government spending, stop the exponential growth of government, and seek a lower tax rate. Yet, the majority of Supervisors has voted for expanded government programs and resisted budget cuts.
