We are a group of citizens committed to a vibrant City of
Alexandria, who believe strongly that excellent schools are vital to our
community.
We have joined together to endorse the following candidates
in the upcoming election for School Board elections to be held on Tuesday,
November 6.
District A
(Alphabetically)
William E. “Bill” Campbell
Stephanie Amann Kapsis
District B
(Alphabetically)
Kelly Carmichael Booz
Justin Keating
No endorsements were made in District C because there is not
a competitive election in that district.
These endorsed candidates represent a slate of individuals who, in
their answers to a detailed survey, demonstrated both a broad understanding of our
school’s operations and a strong knowledge of the issues. They articulated a
strong commitment to improving educational outcomes for Alexandria’s students,
better communications with stakeholders, and for fiscal accountability and
responsibility.
The surveyed responses from all candidates were thoughtful,
articulate, and comprehensive. Their responses can be found on this site.
We are truly grateful for all their efforts and lucky to live in a community with such extraordinary individuals willing to serve our community. Collectively, we endorse these candidates because they have the knowledge, ability and passion to run our City’s schools and make decisions on complex issues.

These candidates received the support of 75% or over of our extended group, which was the threshold for collective endorsement. Additionally, our collective endorsement of
these candidates in no way precludes any member of this group from endorsing
other individuals as candidates and in fact many members of our group are
active supporters of candidates not endorsed here.
We encourage all of our fellow Alexandrians to become informed
of the issues facing our schools and vote in the election for School Board
members. Towards that end and with the
candidates’ permission we are posting their answers to our detailed
questionnaire on this site and encourage
people to consider these answers before they vote.
