The Arlington County Democratic Committee held a County Board candidates debate earlier this evening, ably moderated by Stephanie Clifford. I will upload a few videos now, here and in the comments section. I'll upload the rest tomorrow morning when they've finished processing on YouTube. Enjoy!P.S. My preferred answer to the question about whether the candidates would support John Vihstadt (R, pretending to be an "I") for Arlington County Board chair in 2017: I can't imagine voting for a Republican who waged a campaign of lies and demagoguery to get on the board in the first place, while severely harming Arlington in the process. So, barring a miracle...no!
The purpose of Blue Virginia is to cover Virginia politics from a progressive and Democratic perspective. This is a group blog, founded by me (Lowell Feld), but now including several other progressive writers. I can't speak for the other "front pagers," but I consider myself a progressive in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, RFK and actually a bunch of progressive Republicans (e.g., Jacob Javits, Lowell Weicker). As such, I believe in expanding opportunities to all, utilizing government as a tool to promote the general welfare and the common good, protecting the environment for ourselves and for future generations, and expanding the rights promised in our Constitution and Bill of Rights to all Americans.
I invite everyone to comment here, but please be aware that profanity, personal attacks, bigotry, and "trolling" are not allowed. Thanks, and enjoy!
