Endorsed by Current & Former Alexandria Elected Leaders
Alyia Gaskins, Alexandria Mayor
"I am proud to endorse Sean Casey’s reelection as Sheriff of Alexandria. A lifelong Alexandrian and accomplished public safety leader, Sean has prioritized community safety, staff wellness, and transparency in law enforcement. Under his leadership, the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office has introduced impactful programs such as the Elementary School Liaison program, 'Away from Home' checks, and innovative wellness initiatives for employees and their families. Sean has also built a majority-minority workforce that reflects Alexandria’s diversity, with 30% of deputies being female. He remains a collaborative partner with the Alexandria Police Department, working together to enhance public safety and strengthen community trust. His dedication to transparency and accountability is evident through the expanded ASO community advisory board and his achievement of the prestigious National Sheriffs’ Association Triple Crown Award, which recognizes excellence in corrections, law enforcement, and correctional healthcare. Sean’s inclusive and forward-thinking leadership and commitment to community engagement makes him the right person to continue leading the Sheriff’s Office. I have full trust and confidence in him to keep our community safe while treating all Alexandrians with dignity and respect."
Don Beyer, Congressman (Virginia’s 8th Congressional District)
"I am pleased to endorse Sean Casey’s reelection campaign as Sheriff of Alexandria. Sean has been a steadfast public safety leader in Alexandria, demonstrating a strong commitment to community safety and creating successful pathways for rehabilitation and reentry for returning citizens. From expanding access to expungement services to launching a Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) program within the detention center to address opioid use disorder, Sean has shown that providing second chances not only changes lives but also creates a safer community."
Sarah Bagley, Alexandria Vice Mayor
“Sean and I have worked together to reduce gun violence in our community by promoting safe gun storage practices, distributing hundreds of gun locks, and partnering with organizations like Moms Demand Action. I have also seen firsthand how Sean has prioritized inmate rehabilitation through educational programs such as GED preparation, ESL (English as a Second Language), and training for nationally recognized certifications in food service, traffic flagging, and general industry and construction safety. Sean is a responsive and engaged public safety leader who truly cares about the safety and well-being of every member of our community. That is why I proudly support him to continue serving as our Sheriff.”
John Taylor Chapman, Alexandria City Council Member
"As a lifelong Alexandrian and longtime leader in our city, I understand the importance and value of homegrown leadership. Sean, also a lifelong Alexandrian, brings over twenty years of combined public safety experience in our community. As Sheriff, he has demonstrated a deep understanding of the community’s expectations for law enforcement. He ensures his staff maintains high standards through initiatives such as implicit bias training and the implementation of Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement training and policies. Additionally, Sean’s development and launch of the Sheriff’s Office Community Academy highlight his commitment to fostering community involvement in Alexandria’s law enforcement. For these reasons, I am proud to endorse Sean Casey to continue serving as our Sheriff."
Chris Harris, Alexandria School Board
“Sean Casey exemplifies integrity, loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to the City of Alexandria. His dedication to serving our community with fairness, compassion, and professionalism is truly unmatched. Sean’s leadership and values set a high standard for public service, and I am honored to endorse him for reelection as Sheriff of Alexandria.”
Kirk McPike, Alexandria City Councilman
"I am thrilled that Sean has decided to seek reelection as the Sheriff of Alexandria. As Sheriff, Sean has been a responsive and accountable leader who prioritizes the safety of all members of our community, especially those in his custody. This is evident in his leadership, guiding the Sheriff’s Office to its first-ever PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) accreditation and successfully navigating the COVID-19 pandemic with no serious illnesses or deaths within the detention center. Sean is undoubtedly the best person to continue leading the Sheriff’s Office now and into the future. That is why I fully endorse his reelection as Sheriff of Alexandria.”
