Alexandria Commonwealth's Attorney Bryan Porter faces no opposition in his fourth consecutive election

Alexandria’s Commonwealth Attorney Bryan Porter isn’t facing opposition this November.

In fact, Porter has never faced opposition in any of his elections. He took office in 2014 and spent his first two years consumed with the prosecution of Alexandria serial killer Charles Severance. Porter later wrote a book about the experience.

“The upcoming election isn’t a referendum on my office,” Porter told ALXnow. “I think it’s a testament to the wonderful people I have working in my office.”

A 1989 graduate of Alexandria City High School, Porter got a degree in political science from Virginia Commonwealth University, and briefly served as an Alexandria Police Officer. He went to night school to earn a law degree from the George Mason University School of Law, and was hired as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in 2001.
