[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the Walkinshaw is almost 100% likely to win, but isn't it a little presumptuous to have a slick website out before the seat is certain to be open? I don't think Moon has an election website out yet. But, the GOP would be smart to find a decent candidate, because I don't see any School Board member being a popular choice.[/quote] The Democrats are running based on the assumption that Walkinshaw will win and need to vacate his BOS seat. It’s hard for a Republican to announce now because they’d also have to assume Walkinshaw will defeat his GOP opponent. Even so, if the GOP can find a moderate candidate in the John Cook mold to run in Braddock, they’d have a good chance. Moon comes across as senile now and Rachna is a total narcissist. And both are complicit in the current boundary study mess, especially Rachna. Neither deserves a seat on the BoS. [/quote] I've lived in Braddock District for a long time. I have neighbors active in FCRC and while some of them are reasonable and interesting people, some of them are crazy. And they can never, ever find anyone non-crazy to run. I hate it, because we need 2 functioning parties in Fairfax County. Anyone want to step up?[/quote] kenforbraddock.com He is my neighbor and the nicest, down-to-earth guy. He's held a lot of local leadership positions in the area, and he is absolutely not a maga republican. Ken's brought our community together and really lowered the age of those active in the civic association. Everyone respects him, and most of my friend group thinks he is a phenomenal candidate (even the liberal democrats like me). He is very moderate and I am pretty sure he has been friends with John Cook for years and has similar approaches to the county and braddock.[/quote] Glad to hear they’ve got an opponent, especially one as strong as this. If I were running his campaign, it’d be non-stop coverage of Sizemore-heizer and moon relentlessly pushing the boundary changes through. Add a sprinkle of Sandy Anderson and McDaniel, and you got yourself a winning campaign. It’s all on YouTube. Best of luck, Ken.[/quote] Ken will be lucky to get more than 35% of the vote. [/quote] Depending on the status of the boundary review at the time of the election to fill Walkinshaw's seat, strongly disagree. Granted, Braddock is being treated with kid gloves in the current boundary review (shocking, given this upcoming election) but people may realize they won't be so lucky next time. [/quote] Braddock voters aren’t going to vote for supervisor based on the boundary review. It’s not that big of an issue for them (or for most of us). I will say Ken seems to have a better background for supervisor than the school board candidates.[/quote]
