[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our mail just arrived, including Apple Ballot endorsements.

Julie Yang has their endorsement, rather than Scott Joftus. This is a real surprise to me. I had planned on supporting her, but maybe I should look more at Joftus? Anyone have more knowledge on [b]why she's the Apple choice?[/b]

Because she's a former teacher and college/career counselor in MCPS.[/quote]

What has Joftus done (or not done) as a current BOE member that Apple Ballot is in full support of an opponent?  I know he hasn't been on BOE very long, but it sounds like he didn't align with the Union's preference somewhere... [/quote]

Where have you been?  You need to look up the old threads on how covid money was spent and his personal connection (search "Kid Museum").

I was voting for Fryar, but now that this new guy is in the ring, I'm waiting to see who the Apple Ballot endorses.  MCEA is still licking their wounds over two no-confidence votes that got the hand, but[b] I'm hoping they learned their lesson enough to stop supporting nutcases and picked mainstream folks this time around.[/b]  The reason why I'm voting Apple Ballot to get as many votes as possible to swing the board over.  The problem is that Silver Spring controls most of the county voting since Montgomery County residents can vote for any other Districts reps.

The current Apple Ballot is here:
https://www.mceanea.org/political-action-community-engagement-pace/apple-ballot/

Grace Rivera-Oven, District 1
Julie Yang, District 3
Valerie Coll, District 5[/quote]

Assuming that the Union is picking people mainstream folks is a really big assumption you've made.

I don't follow you comment how Silver Spring controls most of the county. Aren't all Mont County residents able to vote for all seats / districts for BOE?

I didn't follow much about BOE this school year because my youngest DC is a senior and I am SO DONE with the drama known as Montgomery County Public Schools. However, I know the current (and past) BOE members have basically sucked and I'm happy to vote them out. [/quote]
