Let’s face it: our current Arlington County Board is slow, unresponsive, and stuck in the status quo. The COVID crisis exposed a disastrous lack of leadership that’s been hiding in plain sight for years.
They rubber-stamp each other’s bad ideas. They spend big on ‘band-aids’ and luxury aesthetics instead of solving underlying causes to our problems in housing affordability, public safety, and government transparency. Our elected leaders have repeatedly decided to take a backseat to every other neighboring jurisdiction, big businesses, and even their own County Manager.
Our one-party rule makes our government complacent without any drive for solving problems. It instead just tinkers with the status quo. It’s time for a government that reflects new ideas and real solutions. It’s time for a County Board with an independent voice.
Adam Theo is that independent running for Arlington County Board to apply those real solutions to big problems. Theo, a budget hawk with progressive values, is challenging the County Board’s status quo. If you agree that Arlington deserves better on November 8th, follow the campaign!

A Green and Beautiful Pentagon City: Comments on the Sector Plan Update
February’s general County Board meeting was an active one with over 100 public comments and the vote on the long-planned Pentagon City Sector Plan update.
