Summary
Policy choices shape communities—but values shape policy. Chairman Jeffrey McKay reflects on leading Fairfax County through economic disruption while also advancing One Fairfax, a countywide framework that requires leaders to examine how decisions affect opportunity, access, and long-term outcomes across communities. He discusses what it takes to hold together short-term crisis response and long-term institutional change—and why leadership at the local level must operate at multiple altitudes at once. This episode is part of a monthly series sponsored by RELI – the Regional Elected Leaders Initiative at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government.
