To get a sense of who JD is and the energy he would bring to the Board, watch this 45 second video from JD of him door knocking on doors in Carlin Springs.

Why is it so important that you vote? This election will determine Arlington's next chapter. Both JD and Tenley will focus us on the decisions we need to continue to adapt and evolve. I encourage you to vote based on who will serve our whole community best on all of the important issues before us.

JD Spain is my first choice. Tenley Peterson is my second. Both are strong candidates who are running excellent campaigns. JD is my first choice because I believe he is best suited to help us address the most important issues we will face over the next four years by adapting, evolving, and pushing for greater accountability from our County government. Tenley is also a great choice who would serve us well. To learn more specifically about my reasoning, keep reading.

Over the next four years, Arlington must strengthen economic opportunity for all our residents and address environmental sustainability and climate change. With over 30 years of experience and commitment to service as a distinguished veteran and non-profit leader, JD Spain will lead on the critical issues we face as a community such as addressing our school budget needs collaboratively, moving us forward on public health, and smart housing policies that serve all Arlingtonians.

JD shows up across our community, listens and values input, and is committed to engagement and accountability. Most importantly, JD will work with the community to build an Arlington where all of us are valued and better served. JD Spain has my full support and is my first choice in the June primary.

Also, if you'd like to join me tomorrow to help turnout the vote, go here: TeamJD Every Sunday Canvass · JD Spain, Sr. for Arlington County Board (mobilize.us) ([link removed]) We really need your help--this is very important to the ideas you and I care about.
Tenley Peterson
Arlington’s future depends on thoughtful leadership that focuses on the defining challenges of our time: an economy that strengthens opportunity for all and addresses environmental sustainability and climate change. Tenley Peterson’s commitment to both these priorities is clear, as is her focus on investing in a fiscally sound manner in our public schools, and land use policies that focus on the details and respect homeowners and renters alike.

Tenley listens, collaborates, engages with everyone in our community, and is committed to serving Arlington. Tenley Peterson is my second choice in the June primary and has earned my support as a strong choice.

To learn more about JD and his priorities go to his website: JD Spain Sr Democrat for Arlington County Board in Arlington Virginia (jdforarlington.com) ([link removed]) To learn more about Tenley, go to her website: Tenley Peterson for Arlington County Board | county board candidate | Arlington, VA, USA ([link removed])

I believe JD and Tenley stand out and recommend them as your first and second choices. I also want to emphasize how important I believe it is that the two of them are your top two choices.

Why? This will be a very close primary election. Rank choice will likely determine which candidate reaches 50% plus one vote. I do not think any candidate will get to 50% through their first choice voters, so 2nd choices will determine the election.

For all of the ideas that I have shared with you over the years, I believe it is critical that one of these two candidates wins. Both are strong on all of the issues. I ask you to look at their websites, research their thinking, and email me if you have questions that I may be helpful with.

Thank you for reading, voting, and allowing me to serve you,

Matt
