And he has continued to receive warm welcomes after his graduation to county- level politics, where he could be pulled between the interests of his constituents and those of his new colleagues and other re- gions of the county. Before Foust took the podium at the meeting last Wednesday, current MCA president Rob Jackson had rein- troduced him to the association as “a person trying to walk his talk.” “I think John is trying to listen to people and trying to do what he said he was going to do,” Jackson said in a later interview. He said he thought Foust, who is finishing his fifth month in office, only wanted to represent his constituents’ wishes. “We don’t always see that in our supervisors.” He said this was appreciated even by people who may disagree with Foust on issues or ideology. He pointed out that the community had been asking for studies on the impact of any Tysons Corner redevelopment on traffic in the surrounding areas.
