Maritza Zermeño
Candidate for Mount Vernon District Supervisor
Making Fairfax Affordable.
Making Government Accountable.
Mount Vernon deserves affordable neighborhoods, better transportation, stronger schools, and county government that delivers results.
It’s too expensive to live in Fairfax County. And too often, our government takes too long to deliver the services and improvements residents deserve.
I am running for Mount Vernon District Supervisor to change that.
Two Priorities. One Commitment.
A more affordable Fairfax County and a government that responds to the people it serves.
It’s Too Expensive to Live in Fairfax County
Reduce household costs, expand opportunity, and build neighborhoods that work for people.
Our Government Needs to Be More Responsive
Get long-delayed projects moving and make public officials accountable for results.
Lower Costs. More Opportunity.
Housing people can afford
Expand affordable and workforce housing; preserve mixed-use neighborhood plans with useful ground-floor shops and protections against displacement.
Fairer taxes and utility bills
Scrutinize county spending, seek sustainable revenue sources, and make water and sewer bills understandable with a fair process for correcting errors.
Local businesses and jobs
Build complete neighborhoods with groceries, local storefronts, restaurants, and services near where people live.
Better transportation
Advance Richmond Highway improvements, bus rapid transit, safe crossings, and targeted Lorton road projects.
Fort Belvoir opportunities
Ask the Army to verify available housing and explore a lawful pilot for teachers, firefighters, and other essential workers while protecting military needs.
Responsible spending
Make household affordability a test of budget decisions and demand evidence of value from every major investment.
A Government That Gets Things Done.
Accessible leadership
Set a goal of acknowledging constituent requests within two business days and provide regular public office hours.
Progress reports
Publish quarterly reports identifying projects, budgets, milestones, roadblocks, and responsible agencies.
Stronger schools
Advocate for accessible school-by-school budgets and improved English-learner support while respecting the School Board’s authority.
Finish delayed projects
Coordinate VDOT, transit providers, county departments, and federal partners to deliver long-promised transportation and facility projects.
Public services
Support coordinated responses to homelessness, substance-use challenges, emergency services, and community needs.
Partnerships that work
Convene local, state, and federal partners within the first 100 days to establish a shared district agenda.
