DBA Begins

On March 5th, Democrats for a Better Alexandria (DBA) issued its first press release, describing why the organization was created, and what its goals are: to identify and support those Democratic candidates for Alexandria City Council who the group thinks will best handle such issues as land use; traffic and transportation; green open space; transparency, accountability, efficiency, and civility in government; and adequate affordable housing.

DBA was covered on March 6 by the Alexandria Times: "Democrats for a Better Alexandria Announces Formation", and in a front page article in that newspaper's printed edition of March 8, "Local Democrats are Shaking Up the Political Landscape, But What Does Party Affiliation Mean in Alexandria".
