We Did It!
Great news! The voters of Mason District have spoken: Sandy Evans is our new School Board member!
Sandy and I can’t thank you enough for all your support and hard work. We were able to claim victory 16 of the 28 precincts as well as both the absentee votes and provisional votes. The net result was that Sandy won with 56.4% of the votes.
We could not have achieved this victory without you. Thank you for the faith you placed in Sandy and her campaign. You made phone calls, knocked on doors, drove Sandy, delivered materials, installed signs, handed out literature, stuffed envelopes and made generous contributions. It was a monumental effort and YOU are the reason we were successful today.
Sandy stands ready to represent you and your family on the Mason District School Board. Now is when the real work begins — and Sandy is eager to dive in and apply her skills and experience to her new job on the School Board.
Again, thank you for all you have done. Please join me in congratulating Sandy Evans for running a great race.
AND, PLEASE JOIN US at Sandy’s swearing in ceremony tomorrow, Thursday, March 4, at 5:30pm at Luther Jackson Middle School, 3020 Gallows Road, Falls Church.
Warm regards,
Kimberly Smith
Campaign Manager
Evans for School Board
Evans and Filler-Corn WIN!
Congratulation to Mason District School Board member Sandy Evans and Delegate Eileen Filler-Corn. The Democratic wins in the Mason School Board and 41st House races recognize what voters want: pragmatic, stable leadership. NO to the party of NO.

Washington Post Endorses Evans for School Board
Today the Washington Post endorsed Democrats Eileen Filler-Corn (41st House seat) and Sandy Evans (Mason District School Board) for next Tuesday’s Special Elections (March 2nd, polls open 6:00 am to 7:00 pm).
Ms. Evans has more experience and better ideas … a consistent track record of work on school issues … spent years scrutinizing the school budget [and] is specific in where she would cut and how much she would save.
Voters in the Mason District will fill the school board seat left vacant by last fall’s election of Kaye Kory to the House of Delegates. It’s ostensibly a nonpartisan position, but political parties are allowed to make endorsements. Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) is backing attorney Samantha Rucker, while Fairfax’s Democratic establishment has embraced former journalist and school activist Sandra Evans. Both candidates rightly identify the budget shortfall facing the schools as the top issue, but Ms. Evans has more experience and better ideas.
Ms. Evans, a former reporter for The Washington Post, has a consistent track record of work on school issues linked to her two daughters, who graduated from the public schools. As a leader of an effort to change high school starting times, Ms. Evans spent years scrutinizing the school budget; a result of that work was transportation efficiencies that saved the system millions of dollars. When she talks about cutting administrative costs, she is specific in where she would cut and how much she would save.
Mason is the county’s most diverse area, with the most students coming from low-income families; Ms. Evans speaks knowledgeably of their needs and the importance of the county doing a better job to serve their interests.
