Welcome to the website for Josh Ruebner, Green Party candidate for Arlington County Board. In 2006, I ran for the County Board to promote affordable housing and to end Arlington's over-development and gentrification.
The Arlington Sun Gazette gave me the highest grade—an A minus—for any of the County Board candidates at last fall's Arlington County Civic Federation candidates' forum. "Somebody out there has to raise the fact that the County Board is standing by as gentrification takes place, and it looks like Ruebner's the one," the paper reported. The Arlington Connection noted that I "surprised many in the community by running a strong campaign this past fall as the Green Party candidate for County Board," and the Washington Post commended me for running a "thoughtful" campaign.
This year I'm running again for County Board to continue to advocate for more affordable housing; to end over-development and gentrification in Arlington; to promote diversity, racial and economic justice; to protect the environment; to advance sensible transportation polices, and much more.
Thank you for visiting my website and together let's work to turn Arlington Green!
Sincerely,
Josh Ruebner, Green Party Candidate, Arlington County Board
