Gazette: BOE Barclay wants Ervin's spot on County Council

“I have a few more decisions to make, but we’ll see in the near future,” he said.
Barclay said he is close friends with Ervin and will keep in touch with her as she moves on to her new position.
The Board of Education has been a springboard for political candidates in the past, including Ervin and Councilwoman Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring, Sen.

Why not continue this pattern and save the rest of us the cost of an election for you.
