Do you plan to vote at the Democratic Caucus next week?
If so, you should first consider that the Democratic Caucus will not be run like County Government runs a Primary election under State election laws. The Democratic Caucus will be run under the Arlington County Democratic Committee's rules. So candidates are free to do anything they can get away with to win. Meaning surrogate voting, persons who are no longer legally Arlington residents voting, and campaigns gaming instant runoff voting. So, it's going to be a charade "selection" to begin with.
Second, when you look at what all four of the Democratic candidates say they intend to do if elected to County Board it's clear what they intend to do is put Smart Growth on steroids. That is, massively in-fill the County with more upscale people, vehicles, events, and activities in both residential and commercial neighborhoods. They will, in effect, do to our suburban lifestyle what Donald Trump is doing to Obamacare.
What to do? If you don't want your neighborhood to be "Clarendoned" attend the charade caucus, sign the charade pledge, write-in "Audrey Clement for County Board" (don't let the ACDC ward heelers see you) and leave.
If you want to vote for a School Board candidate you could just write-in "Same Old Same Old".
We don't need any more Smart Growth destroying our quality of life. We need Intelligent Growth.
I'm for Audrey but I don't have anything to do with her campaign.
Fed Up Dem

Thanks. I'm also fed up. I'll be out of town for 10 days visiting grandkids but my next door neighbor who looks like me will vote for me using my voter ID card if she is asked and vote using her own name late in the week. Two votes for Audrey. I voted twice for Libby last year and no one questioned that. After all, it's a Democratic Machine.
Never ending tax increases because they are all addicted to Smart Growth. Read their common agenda on the ArlNow blog.
Why did ACDC go with a caucus and instant runoff voting? To keep a Gay or Lesbian candidate from winning every primary.
Difference between a LGBT candidate and a non-LGBT candidate winning local elections? Difference between Neverland on the Potomac and Disney World on the Potomac.
One Jay Fisette for 20 years is enough.
Jay is retiring to the Trump Coast of Florida, until recently known as the Treasure Coast of Florida.
New Urbanism / Smart Growth fanatics are being promoted to executive positions in County Government to inflict massive mixed-use density on our quiet neighborhoods. Of course THEY don't and won't live in Arlington, no matter how many promotions they receive or how much they are paid.
Just write-in Audrey Clement on the ballot and nothing else.
You can also use a fake ID for your older brother or sister who's away at college, as I did last year when I voted for Libby. She was 20 and I was 17. Go Kim !!!
Any and all Candidate antics will be tolerated by the Arlington Democratic Party. It's a Party Caucus, not a Primary.
Patil's Agenda: Arlington's Potomac Valley remade into Silicon Valley via Smart Growth Phase 2...Da Bomb.
All of that aided and abetted by the Urban Village Idiots at ArlNow, InsideNova, and the WashPost.
Silicon Valley? Not! Patil: "Let's Mumbai Arlington. Starting with Westover".
At least Patil can say no to people owning pet cobras in Arlington.
All 4 Young Plutocrats are Smart Growth skanks who want to "Clarendon" the entire County, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Right. If Kim Klinger is so concerned about healthcare why isn't she saying something about the lack of healthcare providers in South Arlington?
She's a mess, but the only one of the four who wouldn't use her position of the CB to get rich.
Massive Conflicts-of-Interest among County Government VIPs? What's a "Conflict-of-Interest"?
My aunt is voting for Mom. I'm voting for my sister who's away at JMU. So there.
If elected Patil or Gutshall would make a fortune from promoting "Smart Growth on Steroids".
Gutshall will be on the ballot in November. Patil will be on the ballot in November 2018.
Crickets about the long-south Potomac Yard Convention Center.
Convention Center? County Board won't discus the plans for Land Bay C.
County Board was directly asked about Land Bay C development at the last CB meeting in the context of additional traffic, and infrastructure requirements, as the result of development. Said nothing.
