[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]also note the fact that there were literally 1336 votes- that is an absolutely tiny number of people voting to determine the next school board member.  This caucus endorsement process is so messed up.

We have a fairly engaged community. They weren't interested in either candidate.

Guess that's what happens when the bullies/MAGAs scare away all of the decent candidates.

Don’t forget that if not for the Dem caucus the pool of candidates would be much larger. How many federal employees have been basically shut out because Arlington Dems insist on this process?[/quote]
Once again, someone failed to actually READ the Hatch Act.

Can we stop with this misinformed nonsense about why Symone couldn’t run already? It’s been three years! [/quote]

I'm confused- I have read the Hatch act- the hatch act definitely precluded Symone from running in the democrats 'endorsement' process.  Something she absolutely should have understood from the get go.  Yes, the hatch act does not preclude someone running for school board- a non-partisan position.  But when ACDC insists on having an 'endorsement caucus' and when a majority of arlington votes the acdc sample ballot the combination of the 'endorsement caucus' and the hatch act do indeed preclude federal employees from successfully running for school board.[/quote]

She claimed she got approval from her federal agency to run (although notably that employee that gave her permission immediately got transferred out of the Office of General Counsel once the erroneous legal advice was revealed). Symone blamed another candidate’s wife for tattling on her, without taking any responsibility for her own actions. It was all a bit ridiculous. The “other candidate’s” wife disclosed the entire situation to explain why she wasn’t actually involved, but Symone tried to play the part of the victim anyway.[/quote]
