[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, NP childless Alexandria resident.

I know who I'm voting for, for governor, mayor, and city council. But can anyone give me a brief run down on who to vote for to benefit the city's kids, and city's future overall as a property owner?

While I don't have a direct stake in it as a non-parent, I don't want to just check a few random boxes, and would appreciate a few quick suggestions -- or major red flags to avoid.

Thank you.

Do you know what district you are in for school board purposes - https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/gis/info/VotingDistricts2015.pdf[/quote]

Doh! In A, thanks.[/quote]

Ish Boyle is an anti-masker. Everyone else seems very progressive if that's your thing. [/quote]

Boyle says he is for “reform” but he has been cagey about his true positions (and where his yard signs are posted around town say something).

Reif is a smart and an engaged Board member.  Unfortunately, she has been supportive of Superintendent Hutchings.

Greene, to me, seems like a nonentity on the Board.  There have been posts here that she is responsive to the community but she does not appear to dig into issues on the Board.  Again pro-Hutchings.

Bailey is a former city Council person that lost in the 2018 primary after supporting a restaurant tax increase to fund affordable housing.  I think he is a good person but I don’t think he appreciates that ACPS is not well run and needs change (and thus I cannot see him providing needed oversight of Hutchings).

I am see trying to get a better sense for Ohlandt.  She has three children in ACPS and seems to have a good sense of the problems that need addressing.
