Mason Butler for House of Delegates District 5

Priorities

Mason Butler is running for House of Delegates District 5 to lower the cost of living for Alexandria families—and hold Richmond accountable for results.

Lowering the Cost of Living

Alexandria families are being squeezed—and Richmond isn't helping.

Housing costs keep climbing. Childcare is out of reach for too many families. Seniors on fixed incomes are wondering if they can afford to stay in the community they've called home for decades. Mason will fight for tax relief and policies that actually ease the burden on working families at every income level.
Mason's focus:
  • Push for meaningful tax relief for Virginia families
  • Support policies that increase housing affordability without sacrificing neighborhood character
  • Protect seniors from being priced out of their homes
  • Fight for childcare solutions that work for working parents

Supporting Our Teachers and First Responders

When we don't pay the people who keep us safe and educate our kids, they leave.

It's that simple. Alexandria's teachers, firefighters, and police officers deserve salaries that let them live in the community they serve. When we pay them competitively, they stay. When they stay, our schools are stronger and our neighborhoods are safer.
Mason's focus:
  • Advocate for competitive salaries that match or exceed regional standards
  • Support collective bargaining rights for public employees
  • Fight for funding that keeps experienced teachers in our classrooms
  • Ensure first responders can afford to live locally

Quality Education

Every child in Alexandria deserves a world-class education.

Mason comes from a family rooted in education—his mother-in-law and aunt were both teachers in Alexandria Public Schools. He understands that strong schools are the foundation of a thriving community.
Mason's focus:
  • Fight for education funding that supports teachers and students
  • Push for accountability and high standards in our schools
  • Support safe, well-maintained school facilities
  • Advocate for resources that help every student succeed

Accountability and Transparency

You deserve to know how your tax dollars are being spent—and whether they're delivering results.

Mason believes in asking hard questions and demanding real answers. No more blank checks. No more programs that don't work. No more ignoring residents until election season.
Mason's focus:
  • Push for audits and transparent reporting on state spending
  • Demand measurable outcomes for taxpayer-funded programs
  • Fight against wasteful spending and backroom deals
  • Keep constituents informed and involved year-round, not just at election time

Infrastructure That Works

From flooding to road repairs, Alexandria needs a delegate who will fight for real solutions.

Residents are tired of flooded streets, crumbling infrastructure, and band-aid fixes. Mason will advocate for state investment in the practical improvements that affect your daily life.
Mason's focus:
  • Secure state funding to address Alexandria's chronic flooding problems
  • Fight for infrastructure investment in roads, utilities, and public spaces
  • Push for smart, community-informed approaches to transportation
  • Prioritize maintenance and beautification, including tree canopy preservation
