Do you like coffee and local politics?
Then join me on Saturday from 8-10am at St. Elmo's (2300 Mt. Vernon Ave.) for a casual conversation - no speeches - over a delicious cup of coffee. The only hard questions are: hot or iced? Do you want room for cream?

Proud to be the 1st Alexandria City Council candidate to sign American Promise's pledge to fight for campaign finance reform.
Having worked at all levels of governments, I've seen how big money poisons the political discourse; elected officials should work for voters, not their donors.
