See below for some live tweets and video from last night’s Fairfax County School Board debate. My favorite line was when Democratic nominee Karen Keys-Gamarra said the following to Republican Chris Grisafe: “Before I answer that question, I really need to respond to Mr. Grisafe; I understand that is the era of fake news, but please don’t answer for me!” Now for some REAL news: there’s a special election for at-large member of the Fairfax County School Board this coming Tuesday. If you are a registered voter in Fairfax County, I strongly encourage you to vote for Karen Keys-Gamarra (at your regular polling place). Thanks, and go Karen!
Grisafe makes up an answer and puts words in @Keys_Gamarra‘s mouth. #KEYSforum (1/2)
