Judge Selects Speck to Fill Vacancy on City Council
Former Alexandria City Councilman David Speck will finish out Rob Krupicka's term, which ends on Jan. 1, 2013.
David Speck is the appointee to fill the vacancy on Alexandria City Council, he told Patch on Thursday afternoon.
The vacancy was created on Sept. 11 when Rob Krupicka resigned from City Council following his election to the House of Delegates.
Alexandria Circuit Court Judge Lisa Kemler made the appointment.
He will take the oath of office Thursday and will be on the dais this evening for council’s second legislative meeting of month.
Speck will serve out the remainder of Krupicka's term, which ends on Jan. 1, 2013.
Speck served on council from 1991 to 1994 as a Republican. He switched parties in 1995 and served as a Democrat from 1996 to 2003.
A longtime Alexandria resident, Speck is a managing director of investments with the Speck-Caudron Investment Group in Old Town.
