ARLINGTON, VA – Today, the Arlington Democrats announced that they are officially endorsing Monique Bryant for the Arlington County School Board.

Monique Bryant won the Democratic School Board Endorsement vote with 68.88% of the overall vote. She received 1288 votes. June Prakash received 582 votes.
“Thank you to the Arlingtonians who voted for me and supported our campaign in the Arlington Democrats’ School Board endorsement race. I appreciate hearing your perspectives on our school system and I pledge to carry those concerns forward as we approach the November election,” said Moe Bryant. “I’m excited to share our progressive values on education and vision to make APS an excellent system that incorporates empathy and values engagement in its decision making.”
“Arlington Democrats are thrilled to announce our endorsement of Moe Bryant for the School Board,” said Arlington Democrats Chair Steve Baker. “We’ll be working hard through November 4th to organize, mobilize, and turn out voters to elect all of our Democratic candidates up and down the ballot. Democrats will continue to stand up against Winsome Earle-Sears’s divisive rhetoric and Donald Trump’s continued attacks on our public schools. As a party, we will always fight to ensure our students have a quality public education free from political interference—that starts at the local level.”
