TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
The Alexandria Brief and the Liberally Social Podcast team up to interview the five Democratic candidates competing in Saturday's City Council firehouse primary. Next up: Tim Laderach.
In this episode:
Tim Laderach discusses why he's running to provide "pragmatic leadership," his four policy priorities — fiscal responsibility, affordability, connectedness and equity — and his approach to breaking down silos between city departments and the community. Plus: rapid-fire questions on pets, political heroes, favorite restaurants and his Navy career.
About the candidate:
Tim Laderach has served two terms as president of the Del Ray Citizens Association and is currently chair of the Economic Opportunities Commission. He is a Navy JAG reservist (up for commander this year), a pharmacist-turned-attorney, and was named to Alexandria's "40 Under 40" in 2023. He moved to Alexandria in 2017.
Endorsements mentioned:
