Ask The Mayor: Mayor Alyia Gaskins joins ALXnow for a one-on-one conversation

ALXnow will launch its new monthly interview series featuring exclusive one-on-one live virtual video conversations with Alexandria Mayor Alyia Gaskins on Friday, April 4.

The “Ask The Mayor” series will provide Alexandria residents with regular opportunities to hear directly from Mayor Gaskins on pressing city issues and to submit their questions for consideration.

Ryan Belmore, Publisher of ALXnow, will host these 30-minute live virtual video conversations.

The conversations will be broadcast live across multiple digital platforms, including the ALXnow website, Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube. The interviews can be viewed live or anytime afterward on each platform. The interviews will be turned into a podcast, and a story will follow each conversation.

The inaugural interview is scheduled for Friday, April 4, at 2 p.m., with subsequent sessions planned for Wednesday, May 14, at 10 a.m. and Tuesday, June 3, at 11 a.m. Beginning in June, the conversations will establish a regular cadence, occurring on the first Tuesday of each month at 11 a.m., creating consistency for viewers who wish to participate regularly. Schedule adjustments may occur, and we encourage residents to monitor our platforms for any updates to the interview calendar.
