Tuesday's Elections in Alexandria
1997
Overview
ALEXANDRIANS have an unusual stake in Tuesday's elections for city council and school board. They have a well-governed city and a generally improving school system to defend, and a low turnout might result in a toppling of their so-far stable leadership. It makes sense in these circumstances to reelect, not replace, council members who seem to have served well together in a city with a stable tax base and a mayor, Kerry J. Donley, who is unopposed. Members of the current council, five Democrats and one Republican, are being challenged by one Democrat, five Republicans and two independents. The incumbents all have earned reelection: Democrats William Euille, Redella S. \"Del\" Pepper (current vice mayor), Lonnie C. Rich, David G. Speck and Lois L. Walker and Republican William C. Cleveland. Each of these council members has contributed special strength, some with experience with the city's schools, others with knowledge of housing and job programs, minority population concerns and effective law enforcement. All council candidates run at large, so each voter may choose all six incumbents. Their reelection as a group would be a decision to retain what has been a sensible, open and dedicated team.
