Local Democratic party rallies behind three candidates in election for an tiny board that had become infused with culture wars.
With about 2,500 ballots cast — more than 10 times the usual amount — preliminary results showed Kristina Groennings, Anna Bartosiewicz and Ari Ghasemian leading the other six candidates by at least 750 votes.
While Gorka was the sole Republican in the field, some local Democratic Party committee members worked to whip up votes by warning residents of a conservative plot to take over the community center.“This year, the vote is more important than ever,” read one email from a party committee official to local Democrats. “Now, right-wing candidates have filed to run in this year’s election and the people of McLean deserve better than to accept an agenda of intolerance.
Groennings said she and her running mates worked harder than the others, spending their own money on campaign signs and get-out-the-vote efforts — a $2,000 expense for Groennings.
