[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how long Gaskins has lived in Alexandria?[/quote] Well, at least since 2021, when she was elected to City Council. I think most folks will vote on the basis of values and positions, not whether they've lived here all their life.[/quote] I'd hope so. Yet, these candidates are nearly identical when in comes to values/positions. How do you propose voters choose? Ignoring a candidate's area expertise and community knowledge doesn't seem like an intelligible approach. Arguably, someone living in a city less than 5 years is likely still using Google Maps to get around. To me, that level of familiarity doesn't read as ready to *lead* the city. [/quote]
