[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ryan McElveen seems to have alienated some of the core Democrats since he left the School Board but he's one of the few candidates who acknowledges the need to address facilities and overcrowding issues in FCPS, so he will have my vote this spring and fall.  Can't really change what he had to say on closing schools in March 2020; as a China expert, he likely knew more early on about the threat Covid stood to pose than the typical county resident.  [/quote]

His platform on his website doesn't mention [b]building renovations or facility maintenance[/b] at all. The other candidates, at least McDaniel and Moon, have those issues on their websites. Of course all the candidates care about this issue.[/quote]

One of the five bullets on his platform page is (emphasis mine): "[b]Build and maintain[/b] educational environments and [b]facilities[/b] that are safe, inclusive, healthy, sustainable, and inspire learning"

I get that it's not necessarily putting the issue first and foremost or emphasizing the need to address overcrowding and aging facilities, but I don't think it's fair/accurate to say his website doesn't at least mention the topic.[/quote]

But it isn't fair to say that other candidates don't talk about it, when most of them actually talk about it more than McElveen.[/quote]
