Letter: Change Status Quo

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Politics as usual is failing us on both the local and national levels. That's why one of my votes for City Council will be cast for Bob Wood. Bob looks squarely at any problem, listens to everyone involved, does his due diligence, and comes up with appropriate solutions — that benefit the community.

As the greater D.C. area booms with construction, smart growth is lacking. Bob has advocated for a rational approach on the waterfront and in other major developments around the city. His insistence on pushing hard for what suits neighborhoods versus other interests is what distinguishes him from politics as usual. He will work with everyone and anyone, as he has done throughout his long and distinguished career grappling with and solving complex problems. With Bob, Alexandria will remain a place where we want to live and welcome others.

Let's change the status quo for the better on Nov. 3.
