[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does this mean that no federal employee can ever run for school board unless they run as an independent? Which is basically death sentence here in Arlington.[/quote]
It might get more educators in the races though[/quote]

As long as ACDC keeps its stranglehold on the caucus, then yes, no feds would be able to run for the Dems endorsement. Under Hatch, they can only run as an independent. And there is case law on what it means to stay an independent candidate. You can’t seek the endorsement from a partisan party.

The ACDC needs to get out of this process and then it would open up a lot of new, and I bet qualified, candidates.[/quote]

This. This is an Arlington problem. I thought it was pretty clear that feds couldn’t run other than as an independent. I was pretty surprised by the whole “opinion” of her agency. I’m not sure they really understood the process in Arlington? There has to be more of a story here. [/quote]
