Why I Support Libby: Former School Board Member Abby Raphael

May 17, 2016 By admin

“It was my honor to serve on the School Board with Libby Garvey, who has worked throughout her career to ensure that at-risk students have the opportunities and resources to succeed in school and in life. During Libby’s 15-years on the School Board, Arlington significantly reduced the achievement gap, increased graduation rates, and our high schools were ranked in the top 1% nationally. Together with the County Board and her School Board colleagues, she focused on renovating schools across the County, and when enrollment was projected to exceed capacity, effectively planned for additions and new schools. Libby played an important role in developing APS strategic plans, which have helped APS provide a high quality education for all students.”

Welcome TO My Website

Though, I am on the ballot for re-election to the County Board on November 3rd and I very much want your vote,  I am temporarily suspending campaigning due to the rapidly changing situation with COVID-19.  I am now focusing on ensuring our resiliency as a community so we can get through this health and economic crisis and prepare to recover as quickly as possible. Please see my “COVID-19 Resources” and “News” pages for information on this evolving crisis and how you can help.

“Libby is a Democrat. Let’s go ahead and get that out of the way to start. Heck, Libby is the one who first recruited me to get involved with Arlington Dems, as she has with countless Young Dems.
