Arlington School Board candidates

[Anonymous]

I'm not voting for Chen. First he was talking over people who have been advocating for APS for years in AEM. Now he's pleading naivety and "I will learn"?

I think he's saying what he thinks we want to hear. I just don't trust him.

Zuraya isn't qualified either, but at least she knows more people than him and is talking to them and the community.

I already know I'm not ranking Larry.

Why would anyone talk to APE? I don't think they can even endorse a candidate this year because it will turn most of the electorate off.

We only voted for Miranda last year because Angelo was much worse. A cactus could have won the SB caucus then.

Zuraya has at least joined a committee and has engaged with APS. No, it's not like Kathleen, but she did more than some guy who just decided to run just because he's angry or something.


At least she chased those endorsements. So much more than Chen. I'm voting for her. She can learn on the job too.

It is true. Both Zuraya and Chen will have to learn on the job.

I agree too that showing humility now after coming in like a wrecking ball in AEM just makes me lose trust in him too. I don't know which side to trust.

Chen can't be social media's SB candidate. Lol. I guarantee you both Kathleen and Zuraya are hustling getting to know constituents as well as smoozing with the elite for those last endorsements.

Go knock on some doors instead of hanging on in anonymous forums Chen.

Chased those endorsements. Bwa ha ha. They recruited her to run as the Latinx candidate to replace CDT.

Chen said he talked with APE a few posts ago. I would like to know more about his involvement with them.

What did Chen say/do on AEM that was a turnoff?

You say this like you’re an insider and witnessed the Hispanic community recruiting and preparing her for office like a puppet. Maybe she had these goals in advance and started to make relationships herself like Chen is purporting to do.

Anyway, anonymous, you’re just stirring up stuff and I can see it clearly from where I sit. I like Zuraya probably as little as I like Chen, but #2 is going to her.

He was the expert in everything just a week ago on AEM. And people (and teachers) had to correct him constantly. Even urging us to speak and School and County Board meetings that he was curiously absent for.

But I really do want to know too what he talked to APE about. The fact that he met with them at all tells me all I need to know about him.

Not an insider. Paying attention. She had no prior connection to APS, joined a committee this year, but had big names like Lopez and Tejada line up from get go. She’s the next CDT who was the next TT.

This. She’s slick and a lobbyist. Doing the campaigning and learning better than Chen but she’s the chosen Latinx candidate and will get the second spot with Kathleen.

This. She says nothing but with a lot of charm. No grudge against her but don’t see a lot of substance.

She’s in a tough spot. Most of the Latino community is in favor of SROs. Of course, TT and CDT sing a different tune but they are generally disliked.
