Arlington School Board - one member
The filing deadline was June 8. By law, parties do not nominate candidates for School Board, although they often make endorsements.

[NOTE: ACRC has not made an endorsement in this race.]

There are 7 questions on the Arlington ballot this year - 3 amendments to the Virginia state constitution, and 4 County bond issues. The Arlington County Republican Committee recommends supporting the amendments and the school bond, but recommends against the other bond proposals. (See more on the ballot questions and the ACRC recommendations in our news release.)
