Alexandria City Council candidates face two forums this week as special election nears
The three candidates running for an open seat on Alexandria City Council will meet in two forums this week.
For most voters, the upcoming appearances on Wednesday (April 8) and Saturday (April 11) are the last opportunity to see the candidates together before the special election on Tuesday, April 21. The candidates, who last appeared together at a forum on March 26, are Democratic candidate Sandy Marks and independent candidates Alison O’Connell and Frank Fannon.
Marks is the former chair of the Alexandria Democratic Committee, Fannon is a former Republican Member of City Council from 2009 to 2012, and O’Connell is a founding member of Alexandria for Palestinian Human Rights.
The candidates will next meet at the Alexandria Federation of Civic Associations‘ monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 8, at 3606 Seminary Road. The meeting will be available via Zoom, with meeting ID 829 3317 3653 and passcode 267478
