38. THE POST'S CHOICES FOR STATE DELEGATE AND SCHOOL BOARD IN A FAIRFAX ELECTION

Ms. Filler-Corn, who worked as a liaison to Capitol Hill for former governors Mark R. Warner and Timothy M. Kaine, would be the more effective delegate. She has a much more fluent grasp of Virginia issues than Mr. Bolognese, having been deeply involved in education issues in Fairfax County. In addition to having served five years on the PTA Board for the county schools, she helps develop after-school programs as a member of the school system's Child Care Advisory Council.
