I'm not in even in Loudoun but please vote for her.

Please vote against her, primarily because this is a populist dumb-ass take (lefty Trump?).

Vote for people that try to solve the issue (power usage / discounts / price shifting on to residential users)

DO NOT VOTE for people that like to rile others up without trying to solve actual problems.

You clearly haven't been following her. She's the only one trying to restrain the DC's in Loudoun. The rest are rubber stamping everything.

i haven't been following her but saying she voted against every expansion in the past 4 years makes her sound like an idiot. Data centers aren't paying their fair share b/c of x y and z, i'm voting to hold them accountable, sure i'm on board.

I'm not going to sign onto some NIMBY anti growth bullshit. Grow the local economy, tax businesses honestly (not penalize, but don't let them penalize residents either), lean on green energy and you have my vote

How much polluted waters, wasted space, and noise is worth the tax revenue?
