Frank Fannon, one of three candidates in the April 21 Alexandria City Council special election, will join Alexandria Brief publisher Ryan Belmore for a live 30-minute interview on Tuesday, March 3, at noon.
The interview will stream live on alexandriabrief.com, the Alexandria Brief YouTube page, and the Alexandria Brief Facebook page. It will also be available afterward as a video recording, podcast, and transcript.
Who is Frank Fannon?
Fannon is a fourth-generation Alexandrian who served on the Alexandria City Council from 2009 to 2012. He is running as an independent in the April 21 special election to fill the seat vacated when Kirk McPike resigned from the council in January to serve in the Virginia House of Delegates.
Fannon announced his candidacy earlier this month after the Alexandria Republican City Committee began its search for a nominee. He is running without party affiliation.
The special election field was finalized on Friday. Fannon filed all required paperwork with the Alexandria Office of Voter Registration and Elections ahead of the 5 p.m. deadline, joining Democratic nominee Sandy Marks and independent Alison Virginia O'Connell on the April 21 ballot. The Alexandria Republican City Committee, which had named a nominee Monday before that candidate withdrew Thursday due to financial disclosure requirements, announced it would not field a replacement.
Early voting begins Friday, March 6, at the Office of Voter Registration and Elections, 132 North Royal Street. Election Day is April 21.
The Alexandria Brief has invited all three candidates in the April 21 special election to sit down for a live interview ahead of early voting. Interviews with Sandy Marks and Alison Virginia O'Connell will be announced when scheduled.
