I served 21 years in the US Army, I have been a firefighter for 26 years, I am the president of a nonprofit that serves thousands of underprivileged children every year, and I have raised two beautiful children. I love Alexandria City and it has made me the man I am today. As I am running for re-election, I will continue to fight for workforce housing, better schools, and ensuring the salaries of our public safety personnel are comparable to surrounding jurisdictions in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Also, as the son of elderly parents, making sure our senior citizens can live comfortably in our great city is a passion of mine. This is a wonderful city and I will continue to work tirelessly to make it even better. I have the energy, compassion, and enthusiasm to continue to help move this city forward. I would appreciate your support in the upcoming months and don't forget to pass this announcement along to your family and friends. Let's work together to make Alexandria City a better place.
