[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a voting guide for Maryland moderate democrats? I’m looking for both county and state level. [/quote]

Moderately MoCo did a Q&A and has endorsements.   I don't agree with all of them, but it's place to start.

Yeah the school board recs [b]are a bit wack![/b][/quote]

A bit?  Those are the three I would absolutely not vote for - nut jobs every one of them!  And yes, I want to get rid of the incumbent BOE members, they are awful.[/quote]

Can I ask who you are leaning towards?  For some of the candidates I am just not finding a lot of information, plus I feel like one of the problems with this current board is unwillingness to push back at MCPS and ask tough questions. It’s hard to gauge who will do that! I like Valerie Coll (former teacher at our neighborhood school) but am struggling with some of the other ones (except to say that I am wary of the moderately MoCo endorsers ones too).[/quote]

That is my post above.  I am voting the following  for BOE:

At Large - J. Domenica Giandomenico 
1 -  Grace Rivera-Owen 
3 - Julie Yang
5 - Valerie Coll

Moderately Moco here.

These people all seem like they are good people who care about the system but I think each would be the most likely to close schools (aka go virtual) for any reason in the next years among their competitors and to me that is a major issue.

I don't agree with the slate on some of their personal takes, but they won't close schools and I hope that their focus would be on improving MCPS not on other things.

I'm also aware of the mud slinging that goes on during elections here and know there will always be pushes against anyone from outside the machine trying to run.[/quote]

Thanks for your explanation.   It is helpful.

I'm voting to get SROs back in the schools (and CEO 2.0 did not do that) -- public safety matters most to me -- although I don't want schools shut down either.    Kids don't learn when they fear violence each day.  And kids 12-18, particiular AA boys, are less safe in school than in the community at large.

SRO's are already back in schools? That's settled.[/quote]
