The schedule
4:30 p.m. — Kirk McPike
McPike has served on Alexandria City Council since 2021 and spent 13 years as chief of staff to Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.). He has rolled out endorsements from Rep. Don Beyer, Dels. Paul Krizek and Laura Jane Cohen, and several local elected officials. If McPike wins the seat, his departure from Council would trigger another special election.
