Alexandria Democrats are lining up to run for City Council seats in the June 12 primary, with more than two months until the filing deadline.
The latest to seek a seat on the six-person council is Canek Aguirre, 32, chair of the local economic opportunities commission and president of the board of Tenants and Workers United.
Aguirre, who worked in community relations for a major health-care provider and for local schools with at-risk students, said he wants to “bring a much-needed voice to the council for people who are often not heard.”
