[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the Walkinshaw is almost 100% likely to win, but isn't it a little presumptuous to have a slick website out before the seat is certain to be open?

I don't think Moon has an election website out yet.

But, the GOP would be smart to find a decent candidate, because I don't see any School Board member being a popular choice.[/quote]

The Democrats are running based on the assumption that Walkinshaw will win and need to vacate his BOS seat.  It’s hard for a Republican to announce now because they’d also have to assume Walkinshaw will defeat his GOP opponent.

Even so, if the GOP can find a moderate candidate in the John Cook mold to run in Braddock, they’d have a good chance.  Moon comes across as senile now and Rachna is a total narcissist.  And both are complicit in the current boundary study mess, especially Rachna.  Neither deserves a seat on the BoS. [/quote]

I've lived in Braddock District for a long time. I have neighbors active in FCRC and while some of them are reasonable and interesting people, some of them are crazy. And they can never, ever find anyone non-crazy to run. I hate it, because we need 2 functioning parties in Fairfax County. Anyone want to step up?[/quote]

It's hard to say.  On the one hand, the GOP is largely Trump's party now, and hugely unpopular in Fairfax.  On the other hand, the GOP should attract better alternatives to the likes of Moon and Sizemore-Heizer, neither of whom deserve to serve on the BOS, if they think they have a better chance of winning.  When others think the FCDC-endorsed candidates have a lock on local elections, they aren't likely to run, which makes it even more likely the GOP-endorsed candidates who do emerge are going to be weird extremists.

In any event, it's hard to see why Moon or Sizemore-Heizer should be rewarded for their time on the School Board with a seat on the BOS.  Moon seems senile now, and Rachna is one of the biggest narcissists to serve on the School Board in recent memory.  Megan McLaughlin would have been a better alternative. [/quote]
