“Thanks to your support in 2023, we accomplished so much together! We successfully opposed a casino in Reston, made pool passes free, opened every pool, improved Little League fields, added Winterfest, completed site assessments of every RA facility and improved access to community input to inform our decision making. I intend to keep advocating for sound fiscal management and preserving our quality of life. Let’s keep working for an even stronger and better Reston!”
- John Farrell
MY RECORD
​Thanks to your support in 2023, during my first term on the Board, we have:
-
Led opposition to a Reston casino
-
Eliminated fees for member pool passes
-
Reopened Shadowood and Lake Thoreau pools
-
Extended the pool season and expanded pool hours
-
Made the Hook Road Little League fields safer
-
Added heating to Lake Audubon pool
-
Eliminated the slip and fall hazard at Running Cedar Little League field
-
Added Winterfest, an annual holiday community gathering
-
Surveyed RA’s membership to know their desires for recreational facilities
-
Completed site assessments of every RA facility to learn how to responsibly extend their useful life and properly budget for their preservation
-
Advocated for all new housing at the Metro stations to join Reston Association. If the 3,000 new Metro Station units joined RA, your annual assessment would be $120 or more lower. RA members should not be subsidizing those developers.​​
We can still do better
MY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
Over the next three years, with your help, I will pursue:
-
Opposition to a Reston Casino
-
Sound fiscal and capital management that extends the life of RA facilities while keeping assessments reasonable
-
Strong professional and cooperative management that puts membership customer service as our highest priority
-
Environmental policies that preserve both golf courses and protect our 1,350 acres of open space and 55 miles of trails
-
Extension of pool season/expansion of pools hours so all members can enjoy these essential amenities
-
Zoning positions shaped by member input to enhance our community
-
Persuade new residential development to join us to share costs of facilities and programs over all homes that enjoy them
-
Simplification of design review and covenant processes to preserve property values while easing covenant compliance
I ask for your vote to enable us to continue “to do better” - let’s expand RA’s quality of life!
