[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we talking about the PTAC people who got certain people elected? [/quote]

And did they keep certain people from being elected?  To me, I didn’t understand how District B turned out they way it did with Ignacio winning and Johnson almost winning.[/quote]

PTAC couldn't figure out that they aren't in Fairfax (check out their bylaws - they aren't even in Alexandria), I doubt they could figure out how to throw an election. [/quote]

I agree but for some reason the change agent candidate in District B did not receive many more votes then the guy who was run out of DC public schools and screams during public comment at school board meetings.[/quote]

Who was the change candidate in B? [/quote]

Maybe I overstated her positions but I was referring to Westfall.  Hutchings attacked her (not by name but by inference) in a school board meeting (I am forgetting what the issue(.[/quote]

Nah. She pals around with that toxic PTAC president. The reality is that her website was a rambling mess, most of her facebook posts were promoting her family's photographer and she just didn't have the support like Baird.

Maybe she should have courted the private school parents like Baird apparently did. [/quote]

I understand all that but she was willing to speak against Hutchings / status quo administration (although she may have been tainted by being so active in openacps).  But you are right that she campaigned as a public school advocate which does not really focus on the private school parent vote.[/quote]

But there is no way that her friends at PTAC tried to damage her candidacy. Why she lost isn't that difficult to figure out if you can look at it objectively.

She just wasn't a good candidate with the rambling website, constant promotion of her family and vendors. She also wasn't a good loser either. No update of the website, no thank you to supporters, no call to action after she lost. She posted something completely out of touch when that ACHS student was stabbed at Bradlee and also didn't care about how parents were kept in the dark about the apparent gang rape (so Alderton described it) in the Minnie Howard bathroom.

Baird's website (before she scrubbed it) was professional and to the point. Clearly she was right to court the private school vote, support, donations. She was articulate.

Ignacio had a base from her time in ACPS and she hustled. She had a new endorsement every day.
