So but was she endorsed by the mayor?


As you probably know Arlington does not have a mayoralty but is governed by an elected board. Yes, they endorsed her, even the one who got his seat with fewer than 300 Democrats party apartchiks participating in ranked choice voting.


Actually I don’t know. I don’t live in DMV

Same in Fairfax. Honestly, seeing who certain groups don't endorse is going to be pretty helpful in the next election

It's the norm for Montgomery County. Which likely means people should not do it.

It seems like the politics of the town are infiltrating the school board. It hasn’t really happened before in my town. Is this normal?
