Alexandria system needs change, a new leader

The mayoral election is an opportunity to determine the future culture of leadership in the city of Alexandria. For six years, on behalf of several community organizations, I’ve attempted to get City Council members and city government managers to address a number of problems that affect our community in the Seminary Hills area — illegal land uses, storm water, crime, crowds, traffic, and human rights on public and private lands. My neighbors and I have been met with disinterest, disrespect, reluctance and disdain from city managers.
