As recommended by the Apple Ballot.

The Apple Ballot always gets it right - that's why they've endorsed D4's best - Shebra Evans - in previous races.

Nice lady, wrong for D4.

Yep, let her retire from K-12 public education, her kid is graduating this season. New faces, new ideas.

Agreed. But I think Laura Stewart’s kids graduated a couple years ago so it’s been a couple years since she’s had kids in MCPS. She’s been advocating and working for years and years while her kids were in MCPS schools and look where it’s gotten us. Definitely time for new faces and new ideas.

There are no good candidates for district 4. I decided I’m not going to vote in D4.

That's not a good decision.

Nice try, but nope, not voting for Mandel.

Or Diaz, in District 2. Don't need MAGAs blowing up the school board.

You think one board member can have all of the power? I believe in diverse view points. There are many people that agree with Mandel’s concerns so why shouldn’t their views get a place on the BOE? Do you not see the problem has been everyone on BOE having the same views and rubber stamping everything MCPS brings to the table.

Because there are many more people who do not agree with her concerns.

Again, many do and just because many don’t doesn’t mean she can’t be elected.
You’re in denial.

Sorry, couldn't come up with a better name for group 3, but they are all sort of consistent in wanting big change, SROs back in schools, and stuff like that.

So if you like how things are going, vote group 1.

If you like the teacher's union (keep in mind their 2022 apple ballot picks currently sit on the board, but aren't up for election this cycle), vote group 2.

If you think big changes are needed, vote group 3.

Mandel is not an acceptable candidate.

She is Moms4Liberty

In the video, Mandel says she wants to be the voice of homeschooling and private school parents on the board.

As I said, which is ridiculous. Regardless of her politics and endorsements, this is a non-starter for a Board of Education member of the public school system. This immediately disqualifies her.

That is not a disqualification measure. Cite where this disqualifies a candidate.

DP. It can certainly disqualify her from consideration by many voters. Indeed, I expect MOST voters would disqualify her from consideration on the basis of her wanting to be the voice of homeschooling and private school parents on the Board of Education - if not on the basis of a great number of her other statements and actions.

Well, that all depends on what "many" turns out to be. In 2020, we kept hearing how "many" people agreed with Austin, and yet he failed to get enough votes to get to the general election.

Don’t be so literal. It disqualifies her from my vote.

She can be elected if she gets the most votes or the second most votes in the May primary election, and the most votes in the November election. However, I don't think most Montgomery County voters want to vote for a homeschooling culture-war-fighting hatemonger who wants to dismantle the public school system.

And it can qualify her into consideration because it’s nothing more than desperate attempt at fear-mongering.
So petty.

Doesn’t matter what you think. What you think doesn’t get someone elected or not.
Asinine of you to think that an individual can and will dismantle a public school system. You’ve discredited yourself with that hyperbolic nonsense.

If you don’t like her doing it, why do you do it too? Doesn’t meet your agenda.

There's at least one amazing candidate for district 4. It couldn't be more clear. If you're confused, use the Apple ballot, it will set u straight.

it seems like their people are responsible for a lot of the misinformation in this thread. I'd rely on mainstream sources.
