The Montoya-as-legal-advocate-for-supply-chain-safety-of-medical-marijuana = dope-dealer-who-wants-pot-in-our-schools trope is really over the top. You're as bad as the one here who screams that right-wingers are so subhuman as to have no business even considering a run.

Marijuana use is a problem.

Not saying it isn't. Or alcohol. Or much more dangerous stuff.

The characterization of the candidate is way off, though.

So she isn’t a marijuana advocate?

So you can't read even a few posts above? A legal advocate for supply chain safety for medical marijuana (unlike the mischaracterization of promoting dope in schools).

Or are you just trying to make the unstated impression the most recent word for others to see?

With the current marijuana and drug use problems that our schools are experiencing, the last thing that we need is a literal advocate for said drugs. No matter how good her intentions are or how noble her work is, an advocate for marijuana is not what MCPS needs.

Now this is a response I can live with. I might not feel that her specific advocacy presents the level of concern that others might feel, but I would not begrudge them that concern for themselves, nor the evaluation of what that might mean regarding candidate preference as stated above. Thank you.

I'm an independent and my ballot had just the three BOE races, not the judges.

You need to read. No one said that she is promoting dope in schools except you.
Seemingly, you see a link in her advocacy and weed in schools.

Eh? I'd say that you need to read and apply context. "All about the weed" isn't enough for you, even though it's clear aim is to detract from the candidate with lack of proper nuance? Go a few pages back and see the dope-in-schools posts from which this draws.

I’m not voting for any marijuana advocate.

Good enough, as with the PP whom I thanked, above. As long as we aren't misrepresenting the nature of that advocacy.

Election worker here. That's correct. Only BOE on your ballot.

Nothing is being misrepresented and we can interpret it the way we see it.
You want us to be naive.

I want us to be well informed, and not with half-truths or misrepresentations. That's the opposite of naive.

I have no issue with your (or anyone else's) deciding that a candidate's acknowledged job as an advocate for safety of the medical marijuana supply chain disqualifies her from your or their own consideration. I do have an issue with you (or anyone else) posting in a way to misrepresent that occupation as being a pusher or an advocate for drugs in schools.

You made that up. Bold where anyone but you said that.

Not the circuit court judges - it is a quirk in state law that you have to be a registered Democrat or Republican to vote for primary day voting in the judges' race, even though the judges' race is non-partisan. Independents can vote for BOE only.

The real problem with Montoya is that the only experience she has to recommend herself as a BOE candidate is that she has been PTA president for NCC ES for a few months. That's not good enough.

Can independents change affiliation at voting site before voting tomorrow?
