It’s hard to imagine anyone running for School Board without thinking they are going to be in for a lot of engagement with the public.

We all know that they are annoyed by the engagement of the people.

We all know that their plan was to pass policy without the pesky input of constituents.

"And they would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!"

Except. They have been rattled by all the public attention as well as challenges.

Legal counsel told them they can't use race to draw boundaries.

Voices of Fairfax highlighted their conversations about boundaries and helped push them on their nonsensical refusal to take sensible actions that the public wanted

This forced public denials of plans to bus as well as forced every Dranesville candidate to promise to keep all Langley neighborhoods in Langley. Tholen erased One Fairfax from her website.

Brabrand couldn't utter the words "One Fairfax"

Keys Gamarra tried to pretend policy draft was entirely invented by staff.

Most of all, all the attention caused by Voices of Fairfax stopped the planned vote scheduled for September, that they intended to pass with NO public input.

Now let's wait and see if they do what they implied about Langley and McLean, or if the boundary study will include other schools.



Voices of Fairfax antagonized most of the current School Board members, endorsed 11 Republican candidates (each of whom lost), and sent questionnaires to candidates that were so hostile that only one member of the next School Board decided to respond.

If the School Board delivers on Langley/McLean, it will probably be due to the efforts of others, and in spite of the rhetoric of One Great Falls/Voices of Fairfax.

I always wonder at the local Republicans who deny their leadership (Tim Hannigan) and most of their candidates are Trump supporters. And then they blame their losses in Fairfax on uninformed voters.


Not sure what your reference to Tim Hannigan is about - I had to google him. What’s your issue with him? I’m quite certain he has a counterpart on the Democrats’ side, no?
- an independent


He does, and that person opposes Trump and backs candidates for local office in Fairfax who also oppose Trump and have priorities that Fairfax voters support.

Republicans can keep crying into their beer about last week’s local elections but it won’t change the fact their candidates lost.


You sound incredibly smug. Not a good look, though we’ve become quite used to it.


When voters rejected a slate of candidates who ran campaigns based on lies and misinformation, the rest of us are entitled to celebrate, even as you continue to whine about what the future holds.

Get over it.

Because a bunch of Trump-lovin’ Republicans (“they’re gonna change ALL the boundaries”) are so much better informed than everyone else.


You aren't going to find many Trump-loving Republicans in NoVa. It is mostly made up of never-Trumpers, which is fine by me. NoVa Republicans would be called liberals in the south.

And yet? You need our tax dollars. What happens if you no longer have access to them?


Langley Republicans are a drop in the bucket, albeit a noisy one with an inflated sense of their own importance.
