Who is Sandy Marks?
Marks is an advocacy communications specialist and two-term former chair of the Alexandria Democratic Committee. She won the Alexandria Democratic firehouse primary February 21 with 1,573 votes — 39.6% of the ballots cast in a five-candidate field — to become the Democratic nominee in the April 21 special election.
Marks, 45, ran on a platform anchored by public school funding, housing supply, and immigration protection. She has lived in Alexandria for 23 years and lives in Del Ray. She is a current ACPS parent with children at George Washington Middle School and Alexandria City High School.
Marks joins independents Frank Fannon and Alison Virginia O'Connell on the April 21 ballot. The Alexandria Republican City Committee, which named a nominee Monday before that candidate withdrew Thursday, citing 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.
