[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s funny how heated this discussion is. The amount of support Cocchiaro has is minscule. Only 332 people cared enough to vote for him. The majority of Arlingtonians don’t care either way. The majority that do care voted for Miranda. The vote wasn’t even close.

I kept my kids at home even when schools opened in person in March (?) 2022. I was one of those people advocating for better ventilation. My girls wore masks for the entire 2022-23 school year. We wore masks in indoor public spaces until maybe a month ago. Yet even I support Miranda. She is an excellent candidate that cares about making schools better. Unlike Christina Diez Torres who is using her position is the school board as a stepping stone, and Priddy, who is absolutely useless, she actually has a vision and a plan. I can’t wait for her to shake things up. Lasers and Sutton are excellent as well. I don’t have to agree with everything Miranda says or does to realize that she’s in it for the kids. Please people just move on. I don’t understand what’s happening in America. Adults, on both sides of the aisle are acting like a bunch of petty teenagers who just keep bickering. Grow up. Move on.[/quote]

We had two bad candidates so people stayed home. Miranda would have had lost against anyone else.

I care that in 2023 ACDC is endorsing a Youngkin supporter with ties to RWNJ nutters like Asra Nomani, Ian Prior, etc. Someone who very clearly has no respect for teachers or greater APS community.

I do too, and we're clearly not the only ones. Miranda will be on the school board, sure, but with very little support as shown by the embarassingly low turnout of people who voted for her. [/quote]

In 2019 Reid Goldstein won over David Priddy 1,231 - 763. The caucus always has embarrassingly low turnout. [/quote]
