To the Editor:
As vice mayor of Alexandria, Allison Silberberg has demonstrated thoughtful
leadership that represents the citizens rather than the latest development
idea. It is time for a mayor who listens, asks questions, and considers all
sides of the issue.
During Allison's considerable community service experience, she served on
the Economic Opportunity Commission and focused on affordable housing. She
has worked to preserve our historic districts and neighborhoods. And she
understands both sides of the education issue with her teaching experience.
It is time for a change and Allison Silberberg as mayor is the choice to
represent the interests of Alexandria's citizens and taxpayers. The
emphasis on development at the expense of neighborhoods must stop, and
voting for Allison Silberberg is the first step in fixing the problem.
