[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I voted for Miranda. She lives and sends her kids to school in South Arlington. I’m sure that’s a deterrent to many of you as the Board skews NA. I signed that dumb pledge but at its core the Arlington Democratic Party is rotting. I’ll vote who I want to vote pledge or no pledge. [/quote]

Priddy and Goldstein are lifelong Southies. Torres is a carpetbagger, no idea where she lives, but probably along the R-B corridor like most child-free people her age, but she might live in the Pike corridor. BK is a Northie. I’d argue that while Kadera lives in NA, she has sent both her kids to Kenmore as transfers, and has an ethos closer to my Southie neighborhood than Turner, who lives in Green Valley and sent her kid to Drew for one year and then fled to private during the Pandemic, and whose biggest and loudest supporters are from the Discovery school zone (nothing wrong with them, I have friends with kids at Discovery and know many lovely families there, but it’s not SA, and the experience of the Pandemic was quite different for that school community and their families than most Title 1 school communities). Let’s not pretend that just the act of living in SA makes one a Southie. I’ll take a Northie who centered vulnerable families in both her thoughts and her deeds/service during the Pandemic over a Southie who solved a problem for her family alone.

This Southie voted her values and voted for Kadera.[/quote]
