[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I need specifics. What did he say, how does that compare to other candidates.[/quote]

Are you ok? You need to check yourself.

1) I, as an anonymous poster on DCUM, don't owe you, also an anonymous poster on DCUM, my free labor to do candidate research. I don't work for Lazo's campaign or any of his opponents. I'm just an eligible voter. If you want to use your free time to review Omar's comments from all his public forums and interviews, have at it. I'm not doing that for you.

2) This thread is about Omar and his candidacy. Not about other opponents. You don't get to deflect candidates about his candidacy and campaign by asking what other candidates have done. Feel free to start a thread about those candidates and we can ask those questions there.[/quote]

You made a claim. You can defend it or not, but don't be upset when people ask you to defend your claim. I haven't gotten any indication from what I have read about Lazo that he is exclusively focused on the Latino community. You're claim that because he has advocated for Latinos he doesn't care about other groups is personally offensive to me.[/quote]

I did not say "he doesn't care about other groups." I said I've not seen that he has publicly advocated for the concerns of MCPS stakeholder groups other than Hispanic/Latino families. And that is accurate.

So as you're on DCUM trying to play trial lawyer and saying people have to "defend" their claims, you need to hold yourself to the same standard, Judge Judy.[/quote]

His website says, "Omar believes every child—regardless of ZIP code, race, language, or family income—deserves access to excellent schools, safe learning environments, and strong pathways to college and careers."

There he is, advocating for all kids.[/quote]
