2024 Alexandria, Virginia mayoral election
An election for Mayor of Alexandria, Virginia will be held on November 5, 2024. Incumbent Justin Wilson has announced he will not seek a third term as mayor.[ 1]
Democratic primary
A Democratic primary will be held on June 18, 2024. Incumbent Democratic mayor Justin Wilson has announced he will not seek a third term. Wilson was first elected in 2018, defeating incumbent Allison Silberberg in the primary. Wilson was reelected in 2021.[ 1] In the heavily Democratic Alexandria, the Democratic primary is tantamount to election with the city having not elected a Republican mayor since 1872.[ 2] Three candidates entered the race to succeed Wilson: councilors Alyia Gaskins and Amy Jackson as well as real estate developer Steven Peterson. During the election, candidates have raised a record amounts of money for a mayoral race in Alexandria.[ 3] Gaskins ultimately won the primary in a landslide.
