Who actually supports Ryan McElveen?

He was pulled in at the last minute when Espy-Glassman's campaign collapsed.
What has he done in four years?
1) Have a ridiculous Twitter account?
2) Take selfies?
3) Hire Karen Garza and give her a $2,000/month housing allowance?
4) Not respond to his constituents (as an "at large" member, EVERYONE in the County is his constituent)?
5) Force the transgender issue, which affects less than 1% of the student population?
Who actually likes him? What are his accomplishments? What are his plans for the future (besides huge tax increases)?
There's no way I can vote to re-elect him, that's for sure.

Plans for the future? Higher political office.

That's obvious-McElveen is using the school board as a stepping stone. He needs to be stopped and NOW before we are all taxed to death. He's a poor example of a school board member, he'd be disastrous in a position where he could actually raise taxes. He'd raise taxes and try to throw another billion at FCPS. Of course, the rest of the state would be up in arms, but it would take some time to get rid of him.
His immaturity and poor track record also work against him in this quest. But, it is best for all if he is not re-elected and he can go back to the Chinese takeout or whatever it is he used to do. Chop chop!

Honestly he's Democratic endorsed and Fairfax County now leans Democratic.
Additionally he's an at-large candidate, down the list in an already-downballot race.
And if you don't have kids in FCPS you probably don't care.
Add it together and he can keep coasting to victory even though he sucks ass.

School board is as high as he'll get that way. He would not even make it to the Board of Supervisors, let alone a State office.

Don't count him out. Ambition has a knack for finding success.
