Chris Zimmerman is an American politician from Virginia. He was elected to the five member Arlington County Board of Supervisors.
In December 2012 fellow Board member Libby Garvey suggested Zimmerman was in a conflict of interest on transit issues.[1]
In April 2013 Garvey chose to cite the anti-streetcar views of mayor of Toronto Rob Ford, during a Board debate of their own Columbia Pike streetcar.[2]

Saturday, Board Chairwoman Mary Hynes, along with members Walter Tejada and Jay Fisette, released a statement saying they were "dismayed" that member Libby Garvey had released emails to the news media that requested the board's fifth member, Chris Zimmerman, to recuse himself from Monday's vote.

Finally, Rob Ford is making headlines in Arlington, Virginia for his anti-streetcar stance. There, County Board member Libby Garvey used a Ford quote ("I hate those damn streetcars - they are a pain in the rear end") during a recent discussion of the county's own "ongoing streetcar saga." Chris Zimmerman, another Arlington County Board member, noted that our mayor is "somewhat alone" in his opposition.
