Last week, those interested in knowing more about me as a candidate for Manassas City Council, my positions, and my vision for the city gathered at Okra’s Louisiana Bistro at the corner of Center and Battle in Old Town Manassas.
While there was plenty of good Cajun food, the main course was meaty discussion (sorry for the pun, it was tough to resist) about real issues facing Manassas City. My running for office, the whole campaign of “Ken Elston for Manassas City Council,” is based on my affection for Manassas. A vote for me is a vote for public safety, a vote for our public schools and a vote for economic development in the city.
Guests at the event heard me speak about the value of the diversity of ideas and community. The son of a teacher and a civil rights activist, with a background studying political science and economics, as well as a professional background as both a longtime union member and administrator responsible for multimillion-dollar budgets and managing personnel, I am hoping to bring a strong voice for strategic planning to the City Council.
