Based on what I've seen in posted videos, Reid's endorsement isn't going to age well. But the Stockton endorsement is a real coup for MT.

Goldstein's endorsement isn't going to move the needle, but no one knows or cares who Stockton is either. So, it's a wash.

What do you mean? Know one in ACDC knows who he is? I agree with that and they are the most likely voters. But I think any involved APS parent or staff knows who Stockton is and they are also likely voters (staff who live in Arlington, that is). I've already heard from people who were surprised by it. Otherwise I agree with you on ACDC. It's telling that Miranda has lined up alot of supporters who carry weight in ACDC and AC doesn't even seem to have support from Young Dems.

I'm a "very involved" parent/voter and I've never heard of him.

Reid's endorsement may not influence much, but it's more relevant than some random staff's endorsement.

Reid saw the impact of Miranda's group on the community.

With Reid’s endorsement more parents and others will take Angelo seriously. I’d say he has decent odds, despite his youth, inexperience, and cockiness. Let’s not forget that both FCPS and MCPS have voting student school board members. Angelo can bring a unique perspective to the board.

That's why this action is so reckless.
APS has a student advisory board that meets regularly with SB members. Sticking a student on the SB would merely be symbolic, not substantive. This 22 y/o doesn't have any more insight into how to solve a youth mental health crisis than any other older adult. His ideas are the same: more counselors! more resources! (whatever "resources" might mean). At least Miranda is pushing collaboration and partnership with the resources available from the County and encouraging community partnerships, instead of just calling for more money and more resources to go to APS for vague generalities.

A positive, fresh perspective is a plus.

Exactly how fresh is that perspective when the outgoing chair endorses it? And when the ACDC big wigs specifically intervene to keep him from quitting the race? When the powers-that-be do everything they can to keep a failing campaign on life support, I don't think it's because that person is offering a "fresh perspective." It's because they view that person as safe and controllable.

Which isn't to say that Angelo is a puppet. He may be quite sincere. In the words of Noam Chomsky: "I'm sure you believe everything you're saying. But what I'm saying is that if you believed something different you wouldn't be sitting where you're sitting."

If he believes that teachers, staff, and parents should be treated with respect and is capable of constructive conversations, then he gets my vote.

I pay attention to APS, and I don't know the current chief of staff, Brian Stockton or any other former chief of staffs. Do you really think most "involved" parents know? I do not. I bet it's less than 1%. I'm sure I've seen the current one/Brian Stockton at SB meetings, which I watch sometimes, but I never pay any attention to to them and so it's not remotely relevant. I don't care about Reid's endorsement at all as he's totally irrelevant, but I at least know who he is.

Are you kidding? No one knows who Stockton is, or cares about a rando from Maryland.

But keep trying to pretend it's a bigger deal than an endorsement from the current board chair. When are you people going to start taking Angelo seriously?

OK, I really don't get this. He is qualified *JUST* because he is young? I have older teens, doesn't that also give me a unique perspective? Just being young is not a qualification. This is madness. I want a real grown-up for this job please.

And for the record, I was a GREAT 22-yr old. I remember being 22. I was early in my career and doing well, but I was still largely a complete idiot with no perspective on the world and how it worked. He's not even from here and has lived her for a half second. Why is that useful? You could pull any rando off the street if that's all the quals you want.

He's a) young and b) politically active. That's not enough.

Never. He’s a kid. If he volunteers in the community of gets work experience or does something to keep building the type of skills that might be useful to serve on the board of a large urban school district, then I might take a future campaign seriously.
