Different poster, but I will vote for Rives, too. We need some balance on this school board and some different perspectives.
He has a different background, different professional experience.

No thx to anti trans

He’s not antitrans.
And even if he was, which he isn’t, people can care about more than one issue

Rives is a nut. Weiss is from out of nowhere. Claiming to be Dem but didn’t try to get endorsed via the caucus.

Zuraya’s anti-semitic social media posts are coming back to haunt her.

Anti-semitic? Somehow I remember her introducing herself as the 'hispanic' candidate, or is her background arabic/hispanic?

You can be anti-Semitic and Hispanic

NP and I agree with this take. Also voting for Rives.

I'm currently planning to vote for Weiss and Tapia-Hadley. I respect the other candidates. I don't respect the upper echelons of APS leadership.

Weiss worked in this school system for over two decades, and seems to have firsthand experience of our many obvious (and solvable!) problems. Tapia-Hadley is thoughtful and professional and Hispanic voices on the Board are valuable given the makeup of the community. I generally want new perspectives on the Board, but Rives' stance on gender is a dealbreaker.

Did the prior post about antisemitic posts from Tapia-Hadley have any basis in reality? Without any evidence, it seems like anonymous slander.

Zuraya will win but we all know she'll be as useless as CDT and Priddy. Such a shame that ACDC runs this show otherwise Paul could have run as a Dem.

I don’t love ACDC either but they didn’t stop Paul from seeking their endorsement. That was all him.

The problem is your adamant need for the ACDC endorsement to support a candidate. Emblematic of the problem in the politics of our country as a whole.

PP here. My adamant need? lol, you know nothing about me. I just don't like misrepresentation.

DP. He never said he was endorsed by the Dems. He said he is a Dem. Going through the machine doesn't make you a Dem. Just ask Miranda.

hahaha, that's true. I hate that fake Dem Miranda is on the Board and was endorsed. I just think it's misleading that Paul is calling himself a Democrat, even though he didn't win, and didn't even run in the primary thing, whatever you call it. I don't remember anyone ever doing this ever.

What should a person who is a registered Democrat, supports the Democratic platform, and votes for Democrats call himself?

So you have just outed yourself as not even being from Virginia. If you were, you would know that you don't register by party in Virginia.

I was skeptical of Miranda's party affiliation. Why can't I be skeptical of Paul's as well? He didn't even try for the primary. I would love a better way for Dems to prove they are real Dems.

Why are you so obsessed with party affiliation for local, non-partisan positions? And who or what do you think gets to determine/“prove” someone’s political affiliation? Kind of nuts….

Why are you so dismissive of it? With MAGAs crazies out there, it's more important than ever to me.

NP

uh, yeah. Like there are TONS of MAGA voters in Arlington LOL. What a stupid statement, PP.

We do need to worry about MAGAs posing as Dems and getting the ACDC endorsement.

And then what will happen? According to you there is already one on the Board so please list the ways in which the person has disrupted APS.

Not according to me. Ask Fake Dem Miranda who she voted for in the VA Gov election. Ask her about the loud MAGA she's married to.

Same. I’m also voting for Weiss and Tapia-Hadley. Lots of Weiss signs popping up left and right. Hopefully that is a good sign.

You might be good with MAGA on the school board but I’m not.

Look at the nutter states with nutter MAGA SBs. Hard pass.

Yup it's just APE MAGA gaslighting. I bet APE has another MAGA lined up to run soon. They have a strategy to take over APS. Fake Dem Miranda is just the start.

Oh they are here, especially in NA. Big overlap between MAGA and APE which is very very active in APS. Are you trying to keep this quiet PP?

Please describe their impact on APS and how specifically you have verified that their overlap with “MAGA” has effectively changed APS and caused harm to students. What policies have they put in place ?

Miranda can’t do much because there is only one of APE officially on the board. But add a second or third and there goes our schools!

They tone down their Project 2025 ambitions for now, but it will all come out as more of them get into positions of true power. It blows my mind that Arlington is letting them get away with it. It’s like all of you forgot what happened in 2020-21. I guarantee you APE has not, and they want to ruin public education from the inside. It has already happened in liberal places like San Francisco and NYC. Wake up people before it’s too late.

I’m sure I’ll get some hate and gaslighting from the APE’s on this board. It’s almost comical how predictable they are.

Why wouldn’t you vote for Kathleen? She’s the most qualified person running IMO.

It’s ok to have disagreements with APS policy.

Decent people aren’t anti-trans.

Decent people don’t think it’s acceptable for a candidate to be anti-trans.
