[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Arlington Education Association endorsed Cristina. https://aeava.org/ [/quote]

And only Cristina. I've not been as impressed by Sandy as are others on here, but I am surprised they didn't endorse her too. Cristina is young and less experienced than others, but the experience she has impressed the teachers. And I think she has the best information online. I'm going with Cristina, Sandy, and Terron for my top three. [/quote]

I'm a teacher and parent. My husband and I always vote for the AEA endorsed candidates. I'll likely choose Sandy or David as my second choice.[/quote]

[eye roll] "I only vote Democrat." "I only vote Republican."

People need to think for themselves.  That blind thinking is what got us the current occupant in the White House.[/quote]

In my opinion, its the type of hate that folks on here direct at Symone and Cristina that got us the current occupant in the White House. Not that Hillary didn't have flaws. [/quote]

Not PP, but that makes no sense. All the candidates running are Dems. All of them. If we don’t like something about one of those two, or any of the others, there are other DEM candidates to choose from. I don’t think any R candidates will stand up after the caucus, so it’s not like anyone is going to NOT vote for whoever the nominee is and then some R candidate, who doesn’t exist, will win.

My biggest qualm with Cristina is that I feel like the SB is just a stepping stone to larger ambitions. I want someone who will take positions and vote based on their beliefs and experience, rather than how it might play at some future point. I also don’t like that she hasn’t lived here for very long, and doesn’t have any direct experience in our school system as a parent or teacher or administrator. She seems smart and highly capable, so I wouldn’t panic if she were elected. I would probably not mind her on the CB. I just don’t think she’s the right fit for the SB at this point in time.
