Oath of office ceremonies for Alexandria City Council members re-elected or newly elected this Fall takes place at 9 a.m. today at City Hall.

Two of the four are already on the panel and the other two are returning.

District 5’s Chuck Fowler, the longest-tenured member, had no opposition; District 3’s Cynthia Perry defeated her opponent in the November primary.

Jules Green and Malcolm Larvadain are returning to the council, Green in one of the two at-large posts and Larvadain in District 1.

Each is an anomaly of sorts — defeating incumbents who had more campaign funds to spend.

According to the most-recent reports filed with the state, Green’s campaign was $450 in the red on December 4, three days before he defeated Lee Rubin.

A week before the runoff Larvadain’s campaign reported $650 on hand. He had loaned the campaign $2,500 on November 25.

His opponent, incumbent Reddex Washington, reported three $1,000 contributions on November 29 and three more (different contributors) on December 6.

Details of these and other campaign finance reports can be accessed at ethics.la.gov online.
