It’s too bad Maggie Slye is not running. A former teacher would have been good right now.

He sits on SHAB according to his website. Maybe he is the ventilation guy?

He joined SHAB the same week he decided to run.

Oh good lord. So, let's review, we have

- the leader of a divisive lobbying group in Arlington who has no other relevant leadership experience
- a PTA president who a lot of people didn't seem to like
- a young upstart with political ambitions and no real ties to APS

Yep. Two women who have the same platform and an opportunist. All bad choices. I think right now I’m voting for Miranda, but we will see how they do in debates I suppose. I wish an independent would run, but they have no hope in Arlington. ACDC runs this game.

Ang reminds me of the Ryan Mcelveen, the former young FCPS school board member who works for the Brookings Institute. Ryan was a recent Marshall HS grad and saw himself as a voice for the students.

There is no ventilation guy (or gal), lol. And the 22 yr old has no connections to Arlington and doesn't give a shit about APS. He's one hop, skip and jump away from moving on to other pastures.

Agreed. I'm very tired of career politicians banking on easy wins in Arlington because we always vote Democratic. They are beholden to donors and businesses.

If you want someone who isn't beholden to anyone, then it looks like Erin is the only one. Miranda is beholden to her supporters in APE, some of whom are not even Dems. Angelo is beholden to the Dems.

you're such a clown. Angel is not "beholden to the Dems." He will please any donor that can continue his political career. Please learn the difference. I also didn't say I wanted a candidate is is not beholden to anyone. They ought favor causes and community groups that are meaningful to them. That is the point of grassroots politics. Please stop making everything about APE. Your are dominating this thread.

Sure.

LOL. This isn't bad. The first 2 have insights relevant to how APS runs, and they can see deficiencies from the parent perspective. We had some terrible SB members before current and most recent versions of the COVID and post-COVID SB. Whatever faults the recent/current SB members have, it's a major improvement over where things were 5+ years ago. Based on what I've seen, the first 2 candidates continue that trend.

Knowing neither of the women, they each have 3 children in APS, and families that call Arlington their home.

No they don't. One of Miranda's kids is in a private school. It's right on her website.

Where do your kids go to school?
My older daughter attends Our Savior Lutheran School, after withdrawing from Drew in early 2021.

Right after it says, returning to APS this fall.

which is different from being in APS now

The full answer on the FAQ:

My older daughter attends Our Savior Lutheran School, after withdrawing from Drew in early 2021. She will return to APS for middle school in the fall. My younger two children are enrolled at Montessori Public School of Arlington

So are these national democrats or local Arlington democrats who are pushing him into running for something that doesn't mean anything to him personally?? I would really like to know.

The whole thing is textbook Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had never lived in that small county in Georgia, nor had any ties there (nor nearby), but she knew she could win there, and had help. She was never interested in that county or anyone it it, but it worked so well for her personal gain.

I wish I had the privilege to just pull my kids out of APS and go to private school like Miranda does.

More importantly, do any of the CB candidates GAF about the schools?
