Mason Butler isn't a career politician—he's your neighbor. For over a decade, he's lived here, volunteered here, and fought for this community. Now he's ready to take that same accountability to Richmond.

Lowering the cost of living for ALL Alexandrians. Families are being squeezed by rising housing costs, childcare, and everyday expenses. Mason will fight for tax relief and policies that keep more money in your pocket.

An independent voice, not a rubber stamp. Mason will ask the hard questions about how your tax dollars are spent—and demand real answers. No more backroom deals. No more ignoring residents until election season.

Investing in the people who keep us safe. Our teachers, firefighters, and police officers deserve competitive pay that lets them live in the community they serve. Mason will fight for it.

Fixing what's broken—starting with our streets. From flooding to infrastructure, Mason is focused on the practical problems that affect your daily life.

Tony Sabio isn't a career politician—he's a battle-tested patriot with over two decades protecting America in the U.S. Military, the Secret Service, and the CIA.

Born to a Puerto Rican mother and Filipino father, Tony grew up in a household where faith, discipline, and family came first. He understands the values of America's working families because they shaped who he is.

Tony believes America's strength lies in strong families, safe communities, and leaders who actually serve the people. Too many politicians have traded service for self-interest—and Congressman Don Beyer, who votes with extreme Democrats 100% of the time, is a perfect example.

That's why Tony is stepping up. He brings real-world experience, not empty promises. Courage, not compromise. A servant's heart forged in sacrifice.
