Justin Wilson would be the first to tell you that his term as mayor has not gone as planned.
When Wilson was elected in 2018, after defeating former Mayor Allison Silberberg in the 2018 Democratic primary by 1,259 votes, he did so assuming that the biggest challenge he would have to face was the planned shutdown of the city’s Metro stations in summer 2019.

City Council candidate Bill Rossello literally has widespread involvement in the Alexandria community.
A Baltimore native of Puerto Rican descent, Rossello moved to Alexandria in 1988 and married his wife, Bonnie, a year later. During his more than three decades in the city, Rossello has lived in three of Alexandria’s distinct neighborhoods – Old Town, North Ridge and Seminary Hill.
According to Rossello, his long-standing connection to the city and its residents distinguishes him from most of the other candidates running for council in the June 8 Democratic primary.
“The rest of the folks are relatively, you know, they haven’t lived here very long, they haven’t seen a lot, they don’t really understand, in my mind, the full context of where we’ve been as a city,” Rossello said.
