The mother of an LGBTQ+ student beat the daughter of the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in a contentious Virginia school board race.
With 62 percent of the vote, Allison Spillman, a mother of five, beat Scalia’s daughter, Meg Bryce, in the race for an at-large seat on the Albemarle County School Board following a campaign in which Spillman and local Democrats linked Bryce to an extremist conservative agenda.

However, according to The Daily Progress, she declined the endorsement and the committee removed it from its website within 24 hours.
