Both Audrey and Jay brought with them hand written statements that they read to the people and neither did not speak from their heart nor did they really say anything. Holbrook never agreed with the others that were talking because they didn’t have anything to say. Where are Audrey’s ideas? You also forgot to mention that Mr. Holbrook took on Audrey on her unsupported position to put geothermal into all of Arlington County Schools without a cost benefit analysis being done. By the way Mr. Holbrook didn’t wear a Hawaiian shirt at that meeting. If you are going to write something please tell the truth. If you have something to say it is always better to tell the person to his face otherwise you are just blowing into the wind. I thank you for your vote.

It's run like a club. Audrey Clement has been part of the leadership for almost ten years. A political party can't be about a half-dozen people who live in one neighborhood stoking their egos every year by putting candidates on the ballot and then running hapless campaigns (or no campaigns). Clement is a candidate who earned a Ph.D. in Political Science?
