Two things really bother me. #1 the fact that Bill Brunke offered her something to drop out and #2 the level of stupidity to put that in an email. I don't want someone like that representing my city or me. Creepy and stupid is a deathblow and I'm so glad the voters figured this out.
Kim now owns the middle ground as a true conservative who earned the endorsement of the Virginia Beach Education Association Political Action Committee of Educators. I honestly believe there is nothing being endorsed by VBEA. They have endorsed conservatives before and thinking Kim will do their bidding is nonsense.
Brian Kirwin knows what down ticket poll workers can accomplish during an off year elections. When he ran for office and won one precinct there was a dedicated poll worker who toiled the whole day as an experiment basically proving poll workers can and do influence school board and city council races. Poor Bill Brunke basically got mugged at the polls and I’m betting he is still wondering how it happened.
If Kim votes to replace Dan Edwards as chairman, she has my 100% support. Dan is a retired LCDR who has repeatedly shown a lack of leadership and intellect. To his credit, he did exactly what he set out to do, fix the school budget and prevent surprises but that was so long ago you can’t even Google it. It’s high time for him to allow someone else to take the reins.
*** Update - Dan Edwards is no longer Chairman...
