I think last year they announced earlier than they originally expected, so hopefully that happens this year too.

I want some predictions? Close? Or did one candidate win 60% of vote?

It will be close but Miranda will win. Wasn’t a supporter of hers so I hope I’m wrong

Easy win for Miranda. Greater than 60% of vote will go to her. Mary has a real base, but the vast majority of parents either: (a) wanted in-person all along/much sooner or (b) just want a change from the status quo. Nothing against, Mary. I'm sure she's earnest, nice person, etc. Miranda is a much needed change agent, however. That was always what this election was about.

All these people who have been pushing her as the outsider who will challenge the status quo, I’ve wanted to point out that’s what Trump supporters wanted in 2016 and look how that worked out. If she wins I hope to God she’s willing to put in the 30+hrs per week to get herself educated and do the job that so many of you want her to get. By January 1st, if she’s the winner she sure as heck better be a lot more informed than she is now because RTS will be so moot it isn’t funny. Hitting her billable hours as an attorney plus working that much for APS isn’t going to be a lot of fun.

Again, no one would mention her job as an attorney if she were a man.

Turners got a more vocal base, but I think Kadera narrowly wins

This is such a ridiculous argument and unfortunately several other people have said the same thing. Trump hardly held a monopoly on this type of claim as a candidate for political office and to compare Miranda, or any other candidate who runs for office as an outsider willing to challenge the status quo, to Trump is beyond absurd. I continue to be amazed at how low fellow Democrats have been willing to go in this caucus.

Your concern for her billable hours is very sweet but anyone who knows enough about hitting billable hours also knows the various ways law firms handle partners who hold civic offices.

This. Everyone I've spoken to voted for Kadera, but none of us are screaming it from the rooftops like Turner's base. And I don't see anyone in my FB feed supporting her, nor have I seen any lawn signs for her near me.

+1. This is a ridiculous argument. Let's start with the fact that both Mary and Miranda are Democrats, so there are not a lot policy differences between them (RTS is one, and that's why so much focus). Plus, Trump was an unqualified idiot, whose only skill is personal marketing. Miranda is a well-educated practicing attorney. I am fully confident she is up to the job of providing oversight for APS.

Let's keep in mind that the Hispanic community has been arguing that students can't go back 4 days a week because of inadequate transportation and aftercare. Yet not a single school board member has asked about how to improve these supports for students in need. Total silence.

I refuse to believe that the "equitable" solution was providing less education this year. That's ridiculous. APS and the school board should be embarrassed.

I think Kadera’ wins too. I voted for Turner, as did almost everyone I know, but I also know lots of Turner supporters who said they were voting and then didn’t follow through. I think Kadera’s base probably had more people actually vote. But everyone else in my circle thinks Turner will win in a landslide. I’m not so optimistic.
