Spouse and I have voted in every School Board caucus for the past decade, and I know we are on the ACDC mailing list because we get door knockers and mailed candidate flyers with every election, not to mention a ton of text messages and emails during the CA race this past spring. But we haven't received anything from ACDC about this School Board caucus-- no email, phone call, or mailed flyer. We only learned about the change to mail in ballot from the Arlington Now story.

I didn’t receive anything, even though I’m a prior caucus voter, too. I don’t know what their communications strategy is, if they even have one. It doesn’t seem like they are trying to spread the word too wide and far. I wonder what this turnout will be. I hope you’ll still be requesting your ballot, though. I have and will be mailing mine back soon.

We requested our ballots and will definitely be voting, but I think a lot of the regular voters are unaware of the change or may be confused by the announcement that the county board primary (different election) was delayed until later in June 23. I don't understand why ACDC isn't delaying the School Board caucus until late June too.

Here are some FAQs from Arlington Democrats about the School Board Caucus, including what they intend to do re publicizing it: https://arlingtondemocrats.org/vote/sbcaucus-faq/

Has anyone gotten their ballot yet?

Folks. Rumor has it Barbara Kanninen May run for Eric Gutshall’s now-vacant county board seat which means THREE available seats at the SB level. Get educated on the candidates, get the word out to your friends and vote!

If she does decide to run and loses does she retain her SB seat or does she have to give it up to run?

If that happened that would be a seperate election, not this one. But there are two open seats now. So please vote!

I'm thinking David Priddy #1 and Sandy Munnell #2 for my votes.

I haven’t and I requested it the same day they announced the change to all-mail. I wonder why the delay.

I’m still undecided. Why are you leaning toward those two? The only one I know I don’t want is Krieger. Don’t really understand the animosity against Cristina.

I've met and like Priddy. He's grounded, thoughtful, cares about the big picture, not an ass. Munnell worked in APS and has the teacher perspective.

I don't like Sims (not happy about the whole thing with running Symone out of the race), Krieger is a 1-issue anti-swap guy who has been spamming me, and Cristina is a party suck-up with no real world experience who thinks she has real world experience whose main qualifications seem to be being Latina and working with Katie Cristol.

Bunch of weirdos, no?

The special election to fill the County Board seat will be in June with federal - locality primary.

I received an email today from the Dems letting me know that I should be receiving my mail-in ballot soon.

+1 and adding that Cristina claims she has all sorts of experience she doesn’t actually have. She claims she helped draft ESSA yet was still an undergrad when the law was written. She’s a party puppet with no actual ties to Arlington and not enough experience. She’s a former TFA-er who claims to know about teaching.
