You vote for 3 at large and one for your district.

On a side note, the school board will likely end up with all 12 slots hoing to the democrats.

Unless a moderate like Davis or Tisler get elected, once again we will have a school board with no dissent, debate or varying opinions, especially since Megan McLaughlin from Braddock district is retiring. Megan was one of the very last "old school" moderate or centrist democrats left in Fairfax County. The other moderate on the State level, Chap Peterson, lost his D primary to a very liberal opponent, and Pat Herrity, the board of supervisors last remaining R in the entirety of northern Virginia, had his district gerrymandered with the goal of the D dominated board of supervisors to redistrict him out of office.

If you are happy with having zero representation of moderates or your the roughly 35 to 40% conservative neighbors, vote for the status quo. Remember, those who decide the D endorsements are not the moderates in the party. They are the far left activists, and the candidates reflect this.

If you want to see at least a little dissent or debate, vote for Davis as a centrist or a republican or two.

The Rs will not win enough seats to make a voting impact on the school board.

But

Having one or two voices on the table from centrists or right of center people means perhaps there is at least one voice of dissent from the center in what is guaranteed to be a 10 to 12 far ldft democratic majority.

The argument “you might not be conservative but you should vote conservative because your neighbors are” is wild. Is that all you have to offer?

DP, but I thought it was a fairly persuasive argument.

The current School Board sucks and one (though not the only) reason why they suck so much is that there is next to no dissent. What there was provided by Megan McLaughlin, but she was inconsistent and she'll be leaving.

As bad as this School Board has been - and it has been utterly terrible - the next one could be even worse if there aren't some moderate voices objecting to the craziness, the virtue-signaling, and the hypocrisy of what you end up getting with 12 members all from the same party.

Problem is there are no moderates.

The GOP should then endorse some candidates who are actual moderates instead of the right-wing stop the steal folks they’re running.

Moon seems moderate. So do Davis and AuCoin. Not sure about Bartkowski.

But the Ds will never admit there are any moderates they didn’t endorse. It’s not in their DNA.

Moon is very aggressive on promoting LGBTQ curriculum.

Completely agree. And I would add, there are posters on this site who complain to the moderator whenever a Republican candidate is touted or even discussed. The echo chamber - and desire to keep it airtight - is strong with this crowd.

By LGBTQ curriculum you mean… acknowledging LGBTQ people exist?

Rationalizing 1/6.

Speculating about a troubled family, using it for internet fodder, and then complain about people speculating about this family and using it for internet fodder.

Looks about how colleges are “cults”.

You people actually live in Fairfax County? Very disturbing.

I think there was a quote above about how what you say here is an actual projection of yourself. Take a look in the mirror. The schools are not doing well. There is no reason to repeat the same thing over again.

“The schools aren’t doing well so let’s turn to fascism” certainly is a take.

Voting one republican onto a school board is not going to turn Fairfax County in Nazi Germany. Get a grip.

Every time a failure or flaw of this board is pointed out, a (likely local Dem operative) starts with the off the wall claims.

The local dems can’t defend their records.

Yep. There is one poster who claims this thread is "full of lies". She actually tried to have Jeff shut it down. And yet, she refused to give any examples of lying. She just didn't want discussion she didn't like to be allowed.

There is no LGBTQ curriculum.

I saw Saundra Davis at Dunn Loring picnic yesterday and she told me she was not a Republican. I googled her and she is.

I consider myself an independent and have voted for Republicans in the past and probably will vote GOP for clerk, but I can’t vote for someone who lies to voters about their party. “I’m a moderate Republican” would’ve been a perfectly acceptable answer.

There are plenty of moderates. Just because you think “trans people exist and slavery was wrong” is “far left” doesn’t mean it is.

Is she “GOP endorsed”? After all, that’s in the subject of the thread.

[Anonymous]

Yes and she's attended GOP events so that would be disingenuous. No idea if the poster is telling the truth though. Maybe the question was whether she was running as a republican. I don't know. It's just hearsay unless it's recorded.
