Lisa C. Merkel, who has served as mayor of the Town of Herndon since 2012, announced this week she will not seek re-election this year.

Merkel moved to Herndon in 2002 and has been a resident of Northern Virginia since 1996. Prior to her term as mayor, she served as vice mayor from 2010-2012.

Merkel's term will continue through the end of the year; a new mayor will be chosen in the November election.Merkel said she's planning to enjoy family time and her children's teenage years after she leaves office.

In addition to her duties as mayor, Merkel served on the Inter-Jurisdictional Committee with Loudoun and Fairfax counties and as the second alternate representative for the Northern Virginia Regional Commission. She is also a member of the Novaregion Foundation. She has served on the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority’s Planning Commission Advisory Committee and has worked closely with Fairfax County in planning for pedestrian and bicycle access to the Herndon Metro Station, serving on the Herndon Metro Station Access Management Study Group (HMSAMS).

Merkel worked for Fairfax County Public Schools as a classroom teacher, reading specialist and staff developer from 1996 until 2004. Her classroom strategies have been featured in two professional books, "Shared Reading for Today's Classroom" and "Catching Readers Before They Fall.” Merkel holds a bachelor’s degree in Education from Auburn University and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Virginia Tech. She and her husband, Dave, are raising their family in a circa 1895 farmhouse in Herndon’s historic downtown.

The meatloaf was great with real mashed potatoes and fresh veggies and sweet tea closed in the afternoon opened for breakfast and lunch and the lunch crowd that used to go there a lot included the Mayor of Herndon as well as all kinds of cops and Herndon city people as well as a few that drove the Blue and Greys of The Commonwealth Of Virginia and wore the same with pride.

So in other words the Honorable Mayor hasn't had a real job since 2004. Not knocking government service, and I am sure she worked hard on the various boards she served on. Somehow though I suspect that being Mayor of Herndon isn't supposed to be a full time job, and she could have spent her unused time better than padding her resume.

Asians are racist and classist AF. They do care about education more than some put they believe in a caste system and servitude slavery. It's going to be interesting voting so many in the local governments.
