LEESBURG, VA - Renew Virginia and Juan Pablo Segura are proud to announce their first endorsement in the 2023 election cycle: Lauren Shernoff for School Board, representing the Leesburg District. Running as an Independent, Shernoff’s role as an educator and a parent in Loudoun County gives her unique insight into the issues facing the school system, and her strategy for renewal is informed by years of on-the-ground experience with school, parents, and students.
“Renew Virginia is committed to supporting leaders that can bring fresh vision to old problems,” said Juan Pablo Segura, a candidate for the Virginia State Senate and founder of the PAC. “Lauren Shernoff has that vision, and she has the evidence to back it up. She’s been in the classroom for years — as a teacher and an administrator and a parent — she’s seen the problems from every angle. That experience, and her passion for public education, is going to help her drive positive change on the school board.”
Shernoff is campaigning on a commitment to student safety, academic excellence, supporting educators, and building back trust through transparency with Loudoun families.
“She knows it’s about the people, not the politics,” said Segura. “That’s why Renew Virginia is endorsing her, and why I am also personally endorsing Lauren Shernoff for Loudoun County School Board.”
“I am honored by the endorsement, and accept both Juan Pablo and Renew Virginia’s vote of confidence,” said Shernoff. “Juan Pablo is leading the way for a new kind of conversation surrounding politics here in Virginia — a renewal of what we should expect from our political leaders, focused on solving real problems in our community. He’s also a man of action, and suing the school board for the release of the independent review was proof of his commitments.”
Shernoff is the first candidate to receive an endorsement from Renew Virginia. The PAC will announce two subsequent rounds of endorsements in the month of May, and will continue to accept applications for any politician or political leader that is interested in furthering the goals of Renew Virginia and the mission statement of the organization.
