Thanks to everyone who supported me in this whirlwind campaign. I'm very proud of the showing we made, and it wouldn't have happened without the support of my family, friends, and neighbors, especially those who volunteered their time and money.

Thank you!
Joy

And did you see the Loudoun Times-Mirror endorsed Joy Maloney for Broad Run School Board? They said:

"Candidates have a time and a place, and perhaps the problem is that Kuesters needs to resolve these issues in his personal life before making another run for public office. While concerned about write-in candidate Joy Maloney’s ability to organize a successful write-in campaign and balance an elected office with her work life, we endorse her candidacy and are impressed by the level of commitment and involvement with the community that she has demonstrated. "

Someone should step up.

That’s what I thought when I first read about the only candidate that had announced for
School Board in the Broad Run district. Kevin Kuesters said that he had two children in
private school. He called our school system “an 800 pound gorilla.”

Someone should step up, I told friends and neighbors on Facebook. I heard rumors that
this or that person may run. Then, the filing deadline arrived. Someone will step up, I
remember thinking as I drove into work that day.

The next week I read Kuesters was our only candidate. Ah well, I thought, how bad could
it be? Then October arrived, and I read about his arrest. Wow, it could be bad. Googling
for news, I found he had declared bankruptcy last year. Wow, it could be really bad.

I wish someone had stepped up. I woke on Saturday and got a call. “Would you step up?”

I thought about it. I obviously care very much about our school system and how it’s run. I
went to college on a teacher’s scholarship and spent five years as a public high school
mathematics teacher. I have a Masters degree in Educational Leadership. My husband
and sixth-grade daughter said they were behind me. My work said to go ahead. It was
time to step up.

Please write in Joy Maloney for School Board on November 8. Take that next step.
