✅DEL KIRK MCPIKE ENDORSES SANDY✅ “I’m endorsing Sandy Marks because her values are Alexandria values. On climate change, abortion access, housing, and standing up for everyone in our community, Sandy is the only candidate who will take meaningful action on the issues that matter most to Alexandrians.” - Delegate Kirk McPike, HD5 This endorsement is incredibly meaningful.
