PAC Alexandrians for Sensible Growth Endorses Five Candidates

Local Alexandria political action committee Alexandrians for Sensible Growth announced Tuesday it has endorsed a handful of candidates on the June 12 ballot—Arthur Peabody, Victoria Menjivar, Sammie Moshenberg, Allison Silberberg and Boyd Walker.

PAC President Ginny Hines Parry said ASG, a nonpartisan PAC founded in 2002, has endorsed these candidates because of their “long, strong ties to the community, experience in local issues, good organizational and interpersonal skills” and work with citizens.

Parry said recent decisions on the waterfront plan and Beauregard corridor by the current mayor and City Council are “of great concern to ASG supporters.”

“The plans affect neighborhoods across the city and have serious flaws regarding appropriate densities, traffic congestion, the destruction and displacement of affordable housing and environmental impacts,” she said in a statement, adding that the concerns of citizens were dismissed and disrespected.
