Well, Ignacio has no pull with central office anymore. She probably wouldn’t have a job period if she wasn’t married to a beloved APD detective. She’s so committed to ACPS that she tried to get a superintendent job in WV right around the time she got demoted to AP. |
Who is Willie Bailey? He's running in District A. Someone said he is a "living legend" of Alexandria. I googled him and it looks like he lost his city council seat. |
How is it not a conflict of interest for Ignacio and Johnson to run? |
I think Willie Bailey is a firefighter and former city council person (who lost in the 2018 primary but to me did a good job). |

Someone I know at TC swears Ignacio isn’t running. Has anyone found official candidacy announcements or paperwork? |
Can the person who reported that she was at/declared at an event for Patrick "I smashed my girlfriend's face into a metal trash can in front of witnesses" Moran weigh in? Otherwise we'll just have to find out after June 8th when the paperwork is due. |
Willie Bailey is a good dude. Alexandria would be lucky to have him. |
She’s running. She’s retiring at the end of the school year and running primarily on a “bring back SROs” platform with some MAGA thrown in for good measure. |
I actually found her to be a control freak and strange in thr but nothing group. She seemed to like her sense of power way too much |
Some odd characters coming out of the woodwork for this race. Now this Debbie Ash character, in all her MAGA-ness. Yikes. |
This is a platform we should ALL be behind for the middle schools and high schools. |
Nope. I have no trust that ACPS will protect my child’s rights in interaction with Alexandria police, including SROs already stationed in a school. |
Ignacio is well known for trying to get anyone who disagrees with her fired and pretending to be a faculty advocate right up to the moment she plunges a knife into your back. Her absolute inability to do her job and her thinly-veiled racism make her a disaster for the school board. |
I like Bridget Westfall—she has kids in ACPS and enthusiastically wants to reopen the schools. She’s worked to keep positive on teachers through her donations.
You want a do-nothing candidate with no opinions go vote for the establishment incumbents. The ACPS school board got nothing done and relinquished all authority to the school. I’ll take a decisive person to move this district along. You may not agree with her 100% of the time but it’s a big improvement over doing nothing. |
