No, she's not.
Andrea is NOT the Broad Run incumbent, that honor belongs to Lori Waters, who is not running for re-election.
The district that Andrea is running for is a mish-mash of precincts from three of the existing districts. Most come from both the current Broad Run (Lori Waters, Incumbent) and the current Dulles (Stevens Miller, Incumbent). Andrea's current district of Potomac is contributing only part of one little precinct.
For Andrea to tout herself as being the incumbent of Broad Run is, at best, misleading.
Here's how Kelly listed her name on the same program:
You notice something there that Andrea didn't include?
Here's Andrea's again:
Andrea's leaving out her party affiliation may lead to the impression that she is an Independent. Her website goes further to foster that impression, as she never mentions her party affilation, but has as a tag line that she is "Experienced. Independent. Trusted."). There IS an Independent in her race, but she is not him. That honor belongs to Cliff Keirce*, who I support fully.
Andrea is misrepresenting herself. She is NOT the Broad Run incumbent. She is NOT the Independent.
Experienced? At what?
Independent? From who?
Trusted? Not anymore.
*Due to an oversight, no Independents were invited to this forum, though candidates from both the Republicans and Democrats were. Stevens informed Cliff of the event on the morning it was taking place, and Cliff ended up being able to attend.

Technically Andrea is the incumbent.
ReplyDeleteI went over this say issue with Mr. Ohneiser.
It all has to do with our Electoral Board.
No, she is AN incumbent of the Board of Supervisors. She is not THE incumbent of the Broad Run district. Since it is customary for the organizers of these events to ask the attendees how they want to be listed on the program, this was Andrea's call and it was the wrong one.
ReplyDeleteAndrea McGimsey.......Potomac Supervisor (D Broad Run) would have been honest and complete. Or
Supervisor Andrea McGimsey.......Potomac (D Broad Run)
Seriously, it's not that hard to be fully above-board.
Tony, if Andrea is the current Broad Run incumbent, then so am I.
