That’s an easy vote no. She’s believes in homeschooling and either was fired or forced out of her teaching position.

I am looking forward to voting against Diaz. Again.

Good, we can vote Rivera-Owen’s out, especially if she agrees to all the new stuff.

It's hard to vote someone out when they're running unopposed.

True, but I'd rather leave it vacant than have her come back.

Vacant is as good an option as some the others.

In that scenario, not voting is in effect a vote for the MAGA candidate.

I think things are so broken at this point that it is worth the risk.

If I have to I'd vote for a republican depending on their character and values over an incumbent. I will not vote for any incumbets right now.

+1
I won't vote for someone who is hateful (sorry, Bethany) but I don't think the incumbents are any better, except for Montoya.

Hell no to one Republican endorsed Moms4liberty garbage.
Banning books in MCPS is not a good look. Racist, KKK = all Republicans at this point in time. Keep that crap off the BOE.

Last time we had Mandel and Diaz and Ricki Mui none of which were qualified to do anything. Especially being around children horrifyingly bad candidates. Oh and let us not forget Esther Wells she's a dozy...

I thought Moms4liberty was asking to opt their own kids out of specific lessons on specific books, not ban the books for all kids. Did I miss something or are you distorting their position?

That is all they wanted.

Yes, but you'll gain weight because you sit for hours on end all of the time.

Some new candidates have filed lately:

Tiffany Wicks for the at-large seat (running against Wylea Chase, Brenda Diaz, and Omar Lazo)

Andrew Frykman for the District 3 seat (running against Brett DiResta and Sally McCarthy)

Grace Rivera-Oven is still the only candidate running in District 1, and Elma-Lorraine Diggs is the only candidate running in District 5.

Good luck to all of us. Scary.

These late entrants are not running to win. I think they are just using the election to launch a political career.
