To the Editor:
Citizens of Alexandria — you have spoken loud and clear — your voice has been heard, the torch has been passed, a new agenda and a new leader has emerged.
You have been bold – you have voted for a new path predicated on respect for neighborhoods, a belief in academic achievement and a need for growth at a reasonable price. Our new leader, Allison Silberberg, has emerged as the victor. Let us unite and join her in her vision of our city — a vision that that will restore pride in our city, fiscal well being and academic achievement.
It will not be easy. It will take time, patience and effort, but as a united city we will succeed. Let us put away our differences and our political views, let us embrace Mayor Silberberg's agenda and success will follow.
God bless the citizens of Alexandria – our political and voting system worked. We have our new leader. A new beginning is upon us. Let us seize this opportunity and thrive.
William A. Goff
Alexandria
