ENDORSED by JOHN VIHSTADT, Independent, former Arlington County Board Member and Yorktown PTA President: Vell will bring true debate and fresh ideas to an insular and self-satisfied School Board. Any governing body needs diverse perspectives. He’ll bring balance, ask questions, and not just nod his head!

DAVID FOSTER, former Arlington School Board Chair: Vell is an informed and committed parent, school volunteer, and professional. He will be a strong and independent voice on the School Board for educators, parents, and students alike.

DESIREE JAWORSKI, Democrat and Chair ’22-’23, APS School Health Advisory Board: Vell is a team player, always willing to listen, and takes the time to understand complex issues. He’s the right choice for the School Board.

SUSAN WALLIN, MHSA, Democrat, Community Health, Environmental, & Immigrant Advocate: Vell will serve with integrity, wisdom, and a heart for APS students and teachers.
