It would be GREAT if tonight ended up as a rebuke of Youngkin.

He staked his political future on the outcomes of tonight. He’s done. What a swing and a miss. Between this and his embarrassing comment that the midterms would “send a message” to Biden it’s plainly obvious he doesn’t have his finger on the pulse of the electorate.

Clearly the fearmongering about crime and trannies failed. What phantom menace will Republicans try to scare voters about in 2024?

Just wait till the same day registration votes come in from VA HD-41. And HD-97 is still in play! All my calls and door knocking were worth it. And I'm not stopping. 2024, look out.

Thank you thank you thank you from someone who wasn’t able to volunteer this year because my dad has been in and out of the hospital for two months. You and everyone like you make a difference. ❤️🇺🇸

And what a way to stick it to Donald Trump.

The gerrymandered supermajority legislature in Ohio continues to tell voters over and over that they are not interested in what they have to say.

I cannot imagine being so brazenly arrogant and power mad as to presume to overturn the majority will of the people.

Thank you!

And thank you Virginia to rejecting many of these nuts.

I have no idea. Where can we follow results?

Scroll to the bottom of this page: https://wapo.st/3tYCLxU. Looks good for Ds in the at large races and dranesville. I don’t know who is who in the others.

Thank you.

Right now, Dems are 12-0, and all are carrying at least 60% of the votes.

The only Hong that could make FCPS parents vote several of the Dems back onto the board after the COVID disaster was threats book banning and targeting LGBTQ kids. So, thanks to Republicans for playing the culture wars in a county that clearly has no interest. In my district, the number #1 priority of the R candidate was “protecting our children from pornography in school libraries”. #2 was “protecting girls sports as safe spaces”. The only thing worse than incompetence is 4 years of culture wars. Hard pass. If I had heard about returning TJ to pure merit based admissions, teacher pipeline initiatives and smaller clas sizes from Rs, I would have votes for the R. But, I read the candidate questionnaires and it was book banning and trans kids.

I just said this on another thread. We are not interested in this in Fairfax.

what are you interested in?

DP

Smaller class sizes
Western county boundary realignment, because the mythical western county HS is just that— mythical. And Chantilly and Centerville are at 120% of capacity. And Chantilly isn’t even in the renovation queue
Teacher pay, teacher retention and a teacher pipeline
Supporting teachers, but keeping the right to strike out of their union contract (Feds don’t have the right to strike either)
More power to principals and local decision makers. FCPS is too big and diverse for one size fits all
For the love of all things holy (no pun intended) kill O Days
Merit based admissions for TJ
Continuing to build out the high school academies and offering more DE credit with NOVA. And more partnerships between NOVA and FCPS in general, so that kids can get college freshman credits or vocational classes out of the way in HS and make college more affordable
Consideration of whether a fine arts and/or humanities/ world language and culture/IR HS magnet is feasible.
And PLEASE, kill 3 of the Eastern County IB programs no one wants. And make IB opt in, not opt out if that’s what you are zoned for.

Not book banning
Not targeting trans kids
