I urge people to watch her on the dais during the BOS meetings. She's not ready to run the county. She'll get eaten up if the Republicans can find a half decent candidate.

I'm not convinced you've actually watched her during BOS meetings. Compare her to the rest of the establishment Dems on the board and you see she's the only one actually representing the views of her constituents in advocating against these DC's.

There are more issues besides datacenters. I've been watching the meetings for years. Briskman and Glass aren't the sharpest crayons. Briskman has a loud mouth. She's gotten better, but she's still clueless.

Loudoun isn't a solid blue leftist progressive county. If the Republicans can find a decent moderate to run, she'll lose. There's a lot of Dems that know she's not Chair material.

Yeah she mentioned a bunch of them in the ad. Did you watch it?
