A Close Look At The Ryan McElveen Website

Ryan McElveen Fails Again

First of all, notice how his campaign website uses his FCPS physical and email addresses. Other candidates use their campaign address and emails. Is this right, using FCPS resources as part of his own campaign?
Second, what a cheapskate he is, using a free Weebly site. This sure does inspire confidence in his transgender advocacy!
Vote Ryan McElveen out of office. He serves himself, not the students or taxpayers. He's had four years and has accomplished nothing, except, well, he's eaten some nice meals and taken quite a few trips.

The phone number listed is his school board phone number, too. That doesn't sound right to me. Does this mean his admin asst is arranging things for him?
This guy may be Phi Beta Kappa, but he doesn't sound too smart to me.

Does anyone other than the McElveen obsessed OP really give a shit about this non-issue? There appears to be no clear cut answer re the legality/propriety of this use of FCPS email. I can't imagine anyone (other than rabid right wingers) would be interested in persuing this alleged infraction. And if they did, they'd wind up looking like Trey Gowdy. How about focusing on the real issues (and that does not include the transgendered red herring).

That is a taxpayer funded account. If his admin asst checks his email or his voice mail, that is a taxpayer funded employee.
There are lots of problems with this.

How about $80,000 a month for travel? How about $9,000 a day for an English teacher who claims to be a neuroscience expert?

McElveen is fixated on bathrooms. He was a "stall door activist" in high school and now he has set the stage for unnecessary and expensive transgender bathrooms.
The kids can't read or write, but the less than one percent of boys who think they are girls (or vice versa) have a dedicated toilet. Wonderful, insightful, and compassionate planning on Mr. McElveen's part. NOT.

Probably a bad idea to have his official email on the website, if that is his official email (it's not a .gov, and theoretically it could be from when he was a student, I don't know). He'll be the only one checking it - the School Board don't have assistants, but still.
Every campaign I've run or been on, you set up a new email address for. Not sure why he didn't do that here.

It looks to me like they do have assistants. Two SB members share one executive admin. asst.
Also, all the phone numbers are 571. I wonder if the phones are paid for by the SB? Since he using the same one for his election information, it sure does not look good.

The clerks have their own duties, and those aren't the same as an executive assistant. At least, not in my experience. These folks work for the entire board, not specific members. One of the complaints I've heard from individual School Board reps is their lack of dedicated staff.

Right down at the bottom, it says Ryan McElveen's executive administrative assistant is Sonya Montano. This is from the FCPS site, not McElveen's campaign site.

Why is it that Libs don’t care about right or wrong? If they don’t think the law makes sense or if they think the law is wrong or if following the law doesn’t help their cause, then they shouldn’t have to follow it. That makes sense, right?

Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense - in your own head. First, you don't get to define 'right or wrong' (God forbid). I said the legality of the issue appeared to be unclear. I didn't say 'Lets throw caution to the wind and try to get away with whatever we can'. That's the purview of conservatives.
If you had a shred of common sense you would focus on serious issues instead of the piddly, ridiculous bullshit that you insist on bringing up and that makes you look as inconsequential as your 'cause' (see the Benghazi hearings).

Unlike you who gave no consideration to the facts, McElveen thought it pertinent enough to remove his fcps contact information from his campaign website. Apparently, thinking independently and focusing on the issue. Something you might want to try.

I guess that is what he is doing --wonder if fear of getting in trouble had anything to do with it?
Wonder why he didn't have sense enough to do it correctly initially?

Yes but he should not have it on there at all. What a loser this guy is. He thinks he is so important, but just look at his resume, he has not really done anything except brag about bathroom doors, hiring Karen Garza and this transgender stuff. To those saying "do not pay attention to the transgender stuff" start with McElveen, it is like the foundation of his life or something.

Be sure and read his blog and the letter that he and Pat Hynes wrote in the UVA newspaper about the Rolling Stone article. They wrote it before the truth came out--and totally believed the article. The letter indicates that they are close minded and believe that any accusation is correct.

Anyone who thinks hiring Karen Garza is something to brag about is not the brightest bulb on the tree. He probably thought it would get him the frat vote or something. Of course when the truth came out, he probably went to play on the playground, just like in his campaign video.

You have a voice with him if you're transexual, not sure about anyone else right now, given his poor track record of responding to county residents.
There is also the matter of the impropriety on his campaign website. Not a good place to be right before an election…
