Fisher Chosen Mayor in Alexandria After Late Surge
Thomas A. Fisher won the Alexandria mayoral race defeating Albert D. Brockett by a solid lead of 306 votes. Fisher carried every ward, ending the late Hubert Snowden era and shaking up city politics as Edward Leadbeater lost his council seat to Frank C. Spinks. The election followed a whirlwind campaign in the brief remaining days. Fisher will assume office after Frederick J. Paff’s second term ends.
