Letter: Collaborative and Consensus-Building
We are writing to express our support for Mayor Bill Euille in the June 9 Democratic primary for mayor.
Letter: Developmental Disaster
With the primary election day less than one week away respectively, I think it prudent to evaluate the performance of our governing bodies, the school board, mayor and city council with respect to real estate development.
Letter: A Determined Leader
Many Alexandrians have an important choice on Tuesday, June 9: Our choice for delegate of the 45th District.
Letter: Facts on School Spending
I was surprised to receive a flyer from Kerry Donley last week alleging that his opponents for mayor have not been strong supporters of our public schools. Mr. Donley’s negative advertising of the kind we all abhor is based on half-truths and misrepresentations.
Letter: Addressing Transportation
I am writing to share my personal views in support of Kerry Donley for mayor on June 9. My main concern is transportation.
Letter: Details Are Important
The headline on Mayor Euille’s recent flier proclaims: Developers wanted to bring dump trucks into Old Town. Bill Euille knew there had to be a better way.
Similar To Sports
As Alexandria voters ponder their June 9 choice for mayor, they should evaluate the players as though it were a sporting event rather than a political contest.
Letter: Opposing Subdivision
I am a concerned citizen of the Clover neighborhood who lives directly behind one of recently subdivided lots. Clover is a beautiful, established neighborhood that is steeped in history. Such noted national figures as President Gerald Ford, Watergate Attorney Plato Cacheris, General Barry McCaffrey, and many others have owned homes in Clover. For over 60 years Clover has been a stable, lovely place to live.
Letter: Voice for Neighborhoods
As vice mayor of Alexandria, Allison Silberberg has demonstrated thoughtful leadership that represents the citizens rather than the latest development idea. It is time for a mayor who listens, asks questions, and considers all sides of the issue.

Letter: Committed To Helping People
Mark Levine is my choice to represent me and everyone who lives in the 45th district now that Rob Krupicka has chosen not to run for re-election.
Letter: So Much To Be Done
So Mayor Euille would have everyone believing he's not interested it selling or mortgaging City Hall. This coming from the man who is out to develop every piece of obsolete city property. A man who has constantly pushed through zoning changes to suit developers. Where the newly built building or housing is often triple or quadruple or greater than what was there before.
Letter: Fixing City’s Fiscal Health
The people listed below represent a collective 123 years in local and state elected office. It would be accurate to say that we have seen a wide range of personalities and abilities among those with whom we have served, but this year Alexandria is blessed to have three candidates for mayor who hold in common something very important — a passion for Alexandria.
Letter: Respectful And Inclusive
Last evening I attended a reception for Allison Silberberg. I left more convinced than ever that she is the right person to lead our city as our next mayor.
