I do think it's a gimmicky idea from the 22 year old. He's basically campaigning on youth because that's all he's got.

He is also bringing positivity. Not YEARS of disturbing baggage.

He's bringing positivity for his own personal political career interests and ambitions. He's giving frosting, no cake. He has offered no substance and is not well-versed in Arlington, let alone APS.

You sound very naive PP. You don't think EVERY politician has their own political career interest and ambitions in mind?

I like his ideas. And I like his positivity much better than the hate and vitriol that the other candidate's camp has strewn about for the past 3 years.

People discuss school board candidates. Get used to it.

Lived in Arlington for 20 something years and have four DCs attend AND some even now teach in APS. This thread goes way beyond discussion of SB candidates.

What part of the discussion do you find problematic?

Probably the part where people just don't automatically agree with their chosen candidate.

I completely support that idea. I think there should be more than one - one from each high school - present at each school board meeting. Maybe it will remind the school board why they are there and that they should you know actually do something about schools.

+ 1

This is a good idea.

Not getting this from the parents' rights APE candidate.

Dp. I think Miranda had this idea last time she ran.

sure she did.

hahahahah now Miranda is trying to steal the kid's ideas? Make up your mind Miranda camp! Are Angelo's ideas lightweight or will Miranda try to claim they are really hers?

This race will be fun to watch.

But what I really want to know is will Miranda resurrect the Miranda van? I just could not stop LMAO at that one.

Pretty sure it’s just Miranda in the race now. I heard the kid dropped out.

Any chance an independent will run?

I don’t see why him dropping out would change the chances for an independent. MT was going to win anyway and that’s prob why he dropped out.

An independent could run regardless of what happens with the caucus.

I guess there’s always someone willing to waste their time and money. I wish the Dems would drop the caucus as much as anyone but as long as it’s here, no independent has a chance.

Yeah I don't trust anonymous rumors on the interwebs. Could just be MT's supporters. They were quite nasty last time.

If this was true, he would have announced he was leaving the race.

What about Symone? Would she run again?

She might be the only one with a real shot, given her name recognition. I actually think she could possibly beat Miranda.

Miranda doesn't have that much support. A lot of people want another viable choice.

Symone has ruined a lot of goodwill given her and her sidekick’s behavior on AEM. I voted for her last time but now I know better.

Maybe but keep in mind it's compared to Miranda. There isn't much goodwill for APE.
