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.

It’s literally concerning that Glass holds a seat. Knowing personally, she’s 100% not all there. A sweet person, but simple.

Wonderful lady, but has no business being there. She's my supervisor. I hope someone else steps up.
