About Arjoon
My name is Arjoon Srikanth, and I’m a software engineer and homeowner living in the heart of Ballston. My story begins with my parents, Srikanth and Swapnali, who met while pursuing graduate degrees at Georgia Tech. Despite both hailing from India, they came from different states — spelling a likely doom for their budding love. They fought hard to marry each other despite the protests of others, and their determination and fortitude in the face of adversity impressed on me the most important lesson of my life: you must be unflinching in the pursuit of what is right.
Housing
The limited supply of housing in Arlington and the rest of Northern Virginia has led to skyrocketing home prices. Seniors, families, and young people find that they can no longer afford to live and raise their families in the communities that they call home. We need to increase the supply of housing.
Anti-Authoritarianism
From ICE raids, to disappearing immigrants who are here legally, to the “investigation” of Arlington Public Schools, to the illegal firings of tens of thousands of our federal workers — our communities are under attack. Virginians are facing an authoritarian regime in Washington, DC intent on testing the limits of our Constitution. Our General Assembly must be prepared to fight back for all Virginians.
Supporting Federal Workers
The current presidential administration is attacking federal workers and contractors in an unprecedented fashion. Arlington has one of the highest proportions of federal workers in the country, and our economy and our people's lives have already been severely impacted by these illegal firings. Virginia’s General Assembly must act swiftly to support the over 400,000 federal employees in our Commonwealth and prevent an economic catastrophe.
