We are very excited to announce that the Alexandria Democratic Committee has partnered with ACTion Alexandria, a non-partisan community engagement platform, to solicit questions from the community for the final Democratic primary debate, on June 4. The debate, which will be held in advance of the June 12 primary election, will use topics and questions from ACTion Alexandria’s "Ask the City Council Candidates" online election forum.

It's Your Turn to Ask the City Council Candidates!

What would you ask the City Council candidates?

Civic engagement is what ACTion Alexandria is all about and what's more civic than voting? It's been a boisterous year in city politics, and with more than a baker's dozen worth of candidates running for City Council, it's hard for a lot of us to figure out which candidates best represent our vision for our community.

So, we are turning the tables on traditional political debates by giving YOU the starring role in our online forum.

Ask City Council Candidates!
