Left of the Hill Interviews Kerry Donley
One of the top Virginia Democratic blogs, Left of the Hill, recently participated in an interview with Kerry Donley where they discussed Alexandria’s current economic situation, the current campaign for City Council, and many other issues. Left of the Hill concluded the post sharing:
Turning to the campaign side of the conversation, Kerry is confident about his chances in the caucus on Saturday the 31st but stressed that he needs every vote possible. Since the campaign is anticipating about 3000 to 3200 voters (past caucuses have seen 2500 to 3000), the final tallies will be close. When I asked him why people outside of Alexandria might want to pay attention to the race, he pointed out how Northern Virginia’s various communities do depend on one another. A traffic jam in Alexandria, for example, could have an impact on people who live in Vienna or Clifton. It is therefore in the best interests of all of NOVA for there to be elected officials who believe in investing in solid infrastructure. Kerry also pointed out that he is a past chair of the Northern Virginia Board of Transportation and did a lot of work in other jurisdictions as the Chair of the Democratic Party of Virginia, so he has built relationships with officials all across our community that are based on mutual respect.
At the end of our conversation I was impressed with Kerry Donely’s ideas and his past experience. He has proven to be a productive member of the Alexandria City Council and I encourage those of you who are registered in Alexandria to vote from him at the caucus on Saturday, January 31.
