WHY VOTE IN THE MAY 6, 2003
GENERAL ELECTION
The May 6, 2003 election for Mayor and City Council will be a "changing
of the guard" election for Alexandria because of these transitions:
--only three of the six current City Council members are
seeking reelection to City Council;
--the Mayor and another City Councilmember are retiring; and
--the remaining two current City Councilmembers are vying for the
office of Mayor.
Thus, there will be a new Mayor and at least 3 new members of City
Council.
This election allows voters to continue the status quo of approving
development projects that degrade our neighborhoods and quality
of life. Or, voters can elect leaders who will make long-range planning
and protecting neighborhoods a priority. Voters can choose leaders
who are committed to changing how decisions are made as well as
making decisions that will bring many positive benefits to our community.
