LOUDOUN COUNTY, Virginia—Republican-aligned candidates running for positions on Loudoun County’s school board gathered to share their vision for the county on Thursday, in the wake of the “Loudoun Love Warrior” (LLW) controversy, where a group affiliated with some of Loudoun’s elected officials targeted and allegedly harassed and doxed parents after they spoke out against the school board’s policies.
These candidates say that unlike some of the current local officials, they are committed to creating a political environment that values civil discourse, transparency, and accountability, where all citizens can express their views without fear of retaliation, and where all constituents are treated fairly regardless of their party affiliation or religious beliefs.
