[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone announced that they are running against Anderson, Meren, or Frisch yet? Either as a Democrat trying to get the D endorsement (seems unlikely without a primary) or as a R or I. [/quote]

They all have opponents:

Thank you! Also how in God’s green earth has Karl Frisch raised nearly $200k?? WHO likes this guy that much??!?[/quote]

His funds come from out of state.

Mostly west coast/California.

He also gets financial support from nqtional donors.

He has very lottle support from fcps parents and local families.[/quote]

No one cares what I think but I feel like you should only be able to fundraise from your own constituency. I feel like people who live out of state don’t know about our local issues by not sharing our lived experience here & I really don’t think their funding should be able to influence our election.

I don't care who donates to them as long as they're responsive, and Karl Frisch always has been.[/quote]

So, you wanted the dog park instead of a school.  Got it.[/quote]

Honestly yes. My kids went to Shrevewood and it was so overcrowded - this new school in Dunn Loring will finally ease overcrowding in the nearby schools as Tysons and West Falls Church develop. I don't care about the dog park, but I like this new school site better than Oakton.[/quote]

Just because you prefer the new location, it doesn't mean it's a good idea.  The Principal of Shrevewood has effectively eased the overcrowding at Shrevewood by moving to a cluster model for AAP.  Many of the kids are leaving for Lemon Road.  If the right numbers leave, it leaves Shrevewood in an excellent position.  Unfortunately if too many move, they'll have to reduce their teacher positions.  Either way, Shrevewood now is in a better position than it has been in a long time.  But make no mistake Karl Frisch has done nothing to serve the population of Shrevewood.  He's useless and needs to be voted out of office. [/quote]
