Stella May McCutcheon Burkhart Alexander (July 2, 1881 – January 8, 1960)[1] was an American politician who served as mayor of Issaquah, Washington, from 1932 until 1934. The first female mayor of Issaquah, Alexander faced fierce opposition from the town council and other government officials and, after surviving two recall petitions, she was removed from office by a recall election in 1934. Prior to being elected mayor, Alexander was a member of the Issaquah Town Council. After being recalled, Alexander moved to Renton, where she ran a hotel.
