Then you are an idiot. Separation of Church and State- do you not believe in the US Constitution? You want a liar on the BOE You want ignorance on the BOE. You want a woman who is endorsed by hate groups on the BOE? What is wrong with you? She literally did not show up to work; your tax dollars paid for her to not show up. What a waste of taxpayer money. She is a far-right nutjob propagandist; her X page looks like an antivax machine. For god's sake, who votes for an RFK Jr and a Tulsi G. supporter and a person who wants a revolution with guns? Yes, guns she put that on her X page........ |

| I mean, it's not like the other two are winning candidates without their own willful ignorance. Less publicly objectionable? Sure, to me anyway, but the makeup of the whole board is the thing, and whether it's MCEA's Apple Ballot endorsement or the B&BC endorsement, the other two promise too much of the same crummy rubber stamping we've had for years and years. |
| We've had lots of liars and idiots on BOE. And also as MCPS superintendent. |
| Diaz is basically moms for liberty |
It is unsettling to see the quality of some of our superintendents. I was not a fan of McKnight, and I think Taylor is a problem too. That said, Diaz' persistence in running for the BOE could land her there for four years, especially since she has toned down her rhetoric. |
| I’m voting for Diaz |
' Oh goodie voting for The Heritage Foundation and Momsforliberty bless your heart wanting ignorance to be forefront for kids. A person who didn't show up for work and you voted for them that takes some kind of special. Total waste of taxdollars paying the salary of a teacher that doesn't show up for their students |
Different poster. Why does she scare you so much if she'd be only one of 8 votes? How much harm can she actually do? I don't like her but I don't understand the hysteria. |
| Diaz is the only candidate talking about things like algebra (a real issue for me and my kids) and not lefty buzz words. I agree with the excerpt you quoted, so that’s helpful for me! |
| She’s mom’s 4 liberty. No way is she getting my vote! |
Is she? Or did she, as a candidate 2 years back, just go to a forum they sponsored? Certainly not as mainstream a move as participating in a milquetoast poll, and possibly inadvisable, but people do go to such things without subscribing to the organizing group's specific philosophy. There are plenty of sources with candidate info. The Banner had this: https://www.thebanner.com/voter-guide/2026/montgomery-county/montgomery-county-board-of-education-HSQF3XI7ZZELNMAJD7ALDU6CTE/ Easy to search for others for this race. "Lazo Diaz Chase Board of Education" comes up with several. |
She absolutely subscribes to the Moms for Liberty philosophy. These are Brenda Diaz's own words from her blog:

| Go Brenda! |
| She's in second place so far. I truly did not think she'd get many votes. |
