| Do Republicans have a chance to flip any of the 9/10 democratically held seats in the next board elections in 2023? |

| Sure. If there's a good candidate. |

| Sure. Dranesville could flip. John Foust is retiring and Jimmy Bierman is a spoiled kid from McLean pretending to be a grown-up. |

Years ago there was a Board of Supervisors meeting on the conversion of the old Mount Vernon HS [had been rented to Saudis] to a community center. Penny Gross-D-Mason District- was the only one to bring up special tax district. That should have been from Foust since Mclean has one and the Hunter Mill rep since Reston has one. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/taxes/real-estate/tax-rates Herndon-Dranesville and Vienna -Hunter Mill are towns with taxes that fund community centers. That leaves Mclean and Reston as outliers in this county. reston CC construction was funded by county bond process - paid off in 1999? County Trash, recycling, leaves etc- Foust has some areas with county services. Most of those who get the reliable service from the county are in other magisterial districts like Lee?, Mount Vernon, Mason. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/budget/sites/budget/files/assets/documents/fy2022/adopted/volume2/solid-waste-overview.pdf If 2021 collection costs for those with county service were estimated at $435.31 then why was the rate increased for 2022 to $400 instead of the $432.24 estimate? Off course county customers give it a high rating but 90% of the county is on their own and most paying higher rates. I don't care if Democrat or Republican- on trash etc the county should have zones and contracts with haulers and the special tax district stuff needs to applied objectivley across this county. |

There were others from Dranesville (Ryan McElveen and Alicia Plerhoples) who challenged Jeff McKay for BOS Chair a few years ago and lost. I would have thought they’d seek Foust’s seat now that he is retiring but maybe they’ve moved on. Jimmy Bierman is a spoiled rich kid in his late 30s who acts like a 16-year-old kid on a high school debate team. Surely the Democrats can come up with someone better. |

I'm surprised Alicia Plerhoples isn't running for Foust's seat. Still in Mclean and in boundary for Mclean HS? BOS vote on and approve school bond money. Foust lack of input on the chronic problem very apparent in the video of the 6/25/19 BOS school bond meeting. |

| There is a new candidate in the Democratic primary - David Fiske. He seems more moderate which I like. I’m not sure he has a chance though since Bierman is the chosen one. |
