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]

That is helpful and fascinating. I always wondered how she was able to get onto the board given that she had zero qualifications or common sense.[/quote]

She’s also an example of a sitting member who appears to have been told by others in the FCDC she shouldn’t run again.  Sometimes the FCDC is like a little clique or a private school where kids are “counseled out.”

But the situation with Moon in 2019 was bad.  It deeply offended some Asian Democrats. Moon initially was going to run as an independent and the FCDC had to get people like Gerry Connolly to lean on him not to run again.  He reluctantly agreed.  Not saying there was a quid pro quo but a couple of years later the TJ gym got renamed after him.  And then they pushed Omeish out in 2023 and he got elected again. [/quote]

Moon is utterly useless in the job. He adds no value.[/quote]

I disagree, although Moon along with four others (Ricardy Anderson, Dunne, McElveen, and Meren) will be sidelined for the remainder of this term because the SB now has 7 members (Sandy Anderson, Dannan, Dixit, Frisch, Lady, McDaniel, and St. John-Cunning) who form a bloc aligned with Reid and are inclined to go along with whatever is easiest for her. [/quote]

McElveen is even more useless. He barely participates in meetings and even stormed out once. Moon isn’t someone asking many questions and, even when he does, he ends up following Reid anyways. There are only 3 who ask questions and they’re ignored and shut out. [/quote]
