The Honorable Mary Margaret Whipple

“I have dedicated over four decades to local and state politics and community affairs, and in all these years, I have only encountered a handful of leaders as competent and experienced as JD Spain, Sr. JD is not a one-issue candidate. With his over thirty years of senior-level experience in executive, legislative, and local government roles, he is uniquely qualified to tackle any challenges that arise. From community planning to organizational strategy and community partnerships and engagement, JD is the innovative and inclusive leader that Arlington County citizens need on the board.  He is also a distinguished retired military combat veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. This primary election is crucial, and I strongly urge voters in Arlington to Vote JD as their #1 choice. JD has earned my trust and confidence, and he has proved his ability to lead effectively and with empathy. Above all, JD is a unifier who will bring our community together.”
