I believe that Alexandria’s future can be brighter than its present.
I am running for City Council this year because of this simple belief. However, I also recognize we can only achieve a brighter future if we make the right choices as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and elect leaders who are ready to do the job on day one.
The pandemic has reshaped the world, and our city. The global health crisis has shuttered many of our local businesses, challenged our students, cost many of our neighbors their jobs and taken far too many lives.
It has highlighted and exacerbated underlying inequalities within Alexandria. It has also offered us an opportunity to regroup, rebuild and chart a course to a better, more resilient Alexandria, one that truly lives out its progressive values.
