TRCA Neighborhood News: City/State Elections Information

[jagchad at comcast.net]

TRCA Friends & Neighbors: 

Please take a few moments to review the schedules and other information about upcoming elections for Alexandria's Mayor, City Council, and Board of Education, as well as for the state primaries. 

The challenges facing our community today perhaps make the thoughtful and deliberate exercise of the civic right to vote more important now than at any recent time. Your vote only matters if you cast it. 

Wishing you the best, and looking forward to seeing you at the Masonic Memorial on Wednesday, April 1, at 7:30 p.m.

Chad Sarchio 
President, TRCA
