This one’s for my friends who usually vote NDP.

I volunteered for the Sask NDP when Scott Moe attacked trans kids — because I couldn't sit by.

Now, the CPC is ready to follow Trump’s lead — but we have a shot at flipping this seat.

That’s why I’m asking you to consider lending me your vote.

Guess what?:

April was a new ALL-TIME ridership record for @DASHBus with 488K boardings!

While it’s great to continue NATIONAL leadership in post-pandemic ridership, it’s more important to help more Alexandrians get around our community!

Go DASH!

The Alexandria Times is trying SO HARD to make a scandal out of nothing 🙄

I’m so pleased to earn the endorsement of YIMBYs of NoVA's Alexandria members! They know I'm a candidate who'll take an “all of the above” approach to housing: legalize more homes, fund affordable housing, and empower people across our city to choose the home that meets their needs.

Does the Alex Times editorial board do any kind of basic fact checking for the letters to the editor before publishing? The whole Euille/Checkgate thing may be nefarious (I dunno 🤷‍♂️), but this letter alleges a violation that doesn't apply to the mayor and should be apparent from the term "legislator"

Well folks, the Alexandria Times is at it again. Today's front page article is advocating for election reform because... Republicans aren't getting elected? Must be the election system and not because people actively hate their awful ideas.

Goooood morning Alexandria! I’m so excited to share that I’m running for city council.

I’ve volunteered and contributed to our community in different ways over the years, and this felt like the right moment to even more fully answer the call to service.

Much more to come, I can’t wait.

Luckily I logged into the DRCA meeting a few minutes early. For some reason the meeting is maxed out at 100 people instead of the 1000 max it's supposed to have.

Why is this article on the front page of the Alexandria Times? What relevance does it have to ALX? The bar is not in ALX. Nor do the people in the story live/work in ALX. The incident was 50+ days ago. That she worked for Bennet-Parker over 2 years is tangential at best
