[quote=Anonymous]Based only on a smattering of meetings..

I've been disappointed with Zimmerman.  Clearly capable from her campaign appearances, where she outshone other candidates on panels with her well organized answers, I haven't seen much of the expected incisive probing from her.  It's as if she's part of the machine.

Wolff, too, in that regard.  Rivera-Oven a bit better, but each only seem to wake up and become more probative around a subset of subjects.

Stewart is missing a lot of the data clarity that she brought to the table when testifying for MCPS.  It's not so much her tendency to ramble, which I think is one way some people use to think through things newly presented (and lots of it is just dumped on them at meetings), it's that there are angles she should know, given her background, but chooses not to pursue, focusing narrowly, now, like others.

Both Montoya and Yang have provided some better questioning.  Montoya has seemed harried, though, like she is trying to do two other things at the same time as the BOE meeting, and Yang seems to rush everyone along, trying, as President, to keep things moving at the expense of enough Q & A on many topics.

Silvestre seems spent, with some of her more incisive moments well in the past.

None seems to do as good a job as the SMOB, even as that high school senior can, at times, show their relative inexperience.

Stewart, Montoya and Zimmerman will have their next election cycle in 2028.  We'll see which of the others run for re-election this go round.[/quote]
