Maybe if she runs for at-large again she can replace the guy sued for embezzlement.  Clown should have had the decency to resign.  They tossed him off the Budget Committee and put him on another committee that always cancels its meetings. [/quote]

She will never be elected to any office in fairfax county. Ever. [/quote]

She's more moderate than Schultz was, so she just needs to run for the right seat at the right time.  Braddock is tough.  Springfield, Sully, and Dranesville have a greater chance of flipping. [/quote]

Sully would be most probable, which is to say 5% versus .1%. [/quote]

Dunno. Sandy Anderson and Robyn Lady are despised by quite a few in their districts.  Some have resources.

[/quote]

The better route would be a primary challenge. A Republican isn’t going to win anywhere in fairfax county. [/quote]

Springfield has the lone Republican on the board of supervisors. We could do it again and take out Sandy. [/quote]

Braddock had a GOP supervisor and a GOP endorsed school board member in the not-too-distant past.

The school board races are non-partisan. There is no primary - just candidates the party chooses to endorse.[/quote]

The local Democrats opened up the process for endorsing SB candidates in 2023. You didn’t need to be a party member to vote in the endorsement process, simply provide an unenforceable pledge to support the eventual candidate who got the most votes.

That was done in response to the 2019 process, where only FCDC  members could vote and Obrar Omeish got a lot of teenagers to join the FCDC as youth members.  Many were too young to vote in the general election, but they delivered Omeish the FCDC endorsement over Ilryong Moon, which was a huge embarrassment given his seniority and common sense.

The process still favors people who pay a lot of attention to the endorsement process, so the long-time party loyalists still have a significant advantage. But it’s not as bad as it was.  [/quote]

She did find creative ways to work the FCDC endorsement process, but that’s how elections work. Moon was also a lazy campaigner and just got out hustled. [/quote]

Not sure if it's the process or the voters, but it says something that a teenage ideologue beat a guy who had successfully done the job before.[/quote]

Omeish wasn’t a teenager when she was elected. She’d graduated from Yale and was in her early 20s.

What she did do was enlist a slew of local teenagers to join the FCDC and vote for her. Many were too young to vote in the general election but the FCDC let them vote in their internal endorsement “primary.”

Moon is old school. He thinks he’s owed respect based on his age and experience, and that it’s unseemly to campaign too hard.  Those running the FCDC now are happy to have him on the SB as an alternative to a Republican, but they will always find someone else to throw their weight behind when he tries to run for any higher office.  They are looking for people they can catapult into successively more senior positions, and Moon ain’t it. [/quote]
