A story in the Jan. 19 edition of the Alexandria Gazette Packet on election changes reported that Justin Wilson and Tim Lovain put forth a proposal to move local elections from May to November in the wake of their defeat in the 2009 City Council elections. The discussion of moving elections was noted in a memo from Wilson and then-Mayor Bill Euille to City Council in February of 2008. Wilson docketed the proposal for a vote one week after the 2009 elections. Lovain voted for the move but did not put forth the proposal.
