Why I Support Libby: Dave Leichtman

May 24, 2016 By admin

"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. One need only spend an hour with her to realize that she’s clearly a hippy, pacifist, bike-riding, choir-singing Liberal. Yet there are some who think that a single transgression against the Party negates a lifetime of commitment to ideals. That’s utter nonsense, and it should be vigorously refuted. “As a State Party official, I work hard to elect Democrats, and I dutifully support our nominees. … [Read more...]

I particularly value her expertise on school issues, given her years of service on the School Board, and we especially need her advocating for schools on the County Board." -- Dan Dixon Lyon Village Resident Former Chair of the … [Read more...]

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 … [Read more...]
