HONOR AN ALEXANDRIA TRAILBLAZER
The City of Alexandria’s ongoing renovation of City Hall and Market Square presents a meaningful opportunity to honor one of our community’s most impactful leaders and trailblazers — Patricia "Patsy" Ticer, Alexandria’s first female mayor and former Virginia state senator.
Patsy Ticer served three terms on City Council in the 1980s before making history in 1991 as the City’s first female mayor. A true consensus builder, she championed early childhood development, education, and affordable housing. She served four terms in the Virginia state Senate, advocating for health care, social services, and the environment.
Market Square is a vibrant gathering place for both residents and visitors. Naming this space after Patsy Ticer would honor her deep roots in Alexandria and her lifelong dedication to public service.
