Religion: Episcopalian (Episcopal Church) — stated on his official General Assembly profile.
Background: VA House of Delegates, District 5 (City of Alexandria); won a Feb 10, 2026 special election, assumed office Feb 18, 2026 (replaced Elizabeth Bennett-Parker). Former Alexandria City Council member (2022-2026) and longtime chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Mark Takano. B.A. Southern Methodist University. Openly gay; the only sitting GA member in a same-sex marriage.
VA Delegate HD-5 (Alexandria); seated Feb 18, 2026 via special election, so he has a near-empty GA floor-vote record — the 2026 regular-session major votes (incl. HJ3) occurred before he took office. [2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement, state tier] Scored from his Alexandria City Council record, campaign platform, and a documented LEADERSHIP role: he is campaign co-chair of 'Virginians for Marriage Equality,' the campaign to pass the same-sex-marriage amendment (and is himself in a same-sex marriage). Authored Alexandria abortion-access resolutions and strongly supports the reproductive-freedom amendment. Immigration: opposes 287(g) ICE agreements, bars enforcement at schools/hospitals (sanctuary-aligned). NO conservative deviation. Score 0/100 on the documented cells; the MANY cells with no record yet (justice, guns, elections mechanics, economics, school policy) are honestly left null — to be hardened once he has a session of recorded votes.
