Editor: My parents always told me if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.Â
In her announcement for Loudoun’s top prosecutor last month, Elizabeth Lancaster touted her chief advisor as Sean Morgan. He’s so prominent in her campaign and he even gets highlighted on her campaign website, essentially showing a vote for her is a vote for him!
Democratic voters should know who Sean Morgan is.
Sean Morgan is a Republican donor who spent a decade and a half in the GOP prosecutor's office implementing the exact policies we voted out. He was part of the administration Democrats fought against. Now, Elizabeth Lancaster wants to bring him back.
No thank you.Â
Adding to this, Ms. Lancaster left public service to join one of the largest and most conservative law firms in the state, headed up by John Whitbeck. Democrats should recognize that name. He was the Chairman of The Virginia Republican Party and has run for office three times here in Loudoun County as a Republican.Â
Ms. Lancaster, thank you for putting your name forward for office, but as a Democrat, I have zero interest in seeing Republicans returning to power in this county, and you seem all too eager to do just that.

Ms. Biberaj's office let a repeat offender off with little more than a slap on the wrist after assaulting someone in December. All the felony charges were dropped. As far as I can tell, the person spent a total of 3 days in the county detention facility while awaiting his preliminary hearing.
Buta's office also failed to protect Regina Redman-Lollobrigido from her husband who was released with an ankle monitor. He subsequently went to Reginia's apartment and beat her to death with a hammer.
But Buta personally prosecuted the father of a child raped in the public schools over a ginned up trespass charge. Glad to see Buta has her priorities straight.
Loudoun needs a CA who will actually prosecute people who commit violent crimes here in Loudoun. Buta is not up to the job and needs to be sent back to a less demanding job somewhere else.
Thank you Jonathan for remembering Regina Redman Lollobrigido. Please don’t let her story be forgotten. She should still be alive today
Buta chose the abuser over the victim. It's what she does.
If anything it shows that the majority of voters that elected our current office holders don't have a conscience. How can anyone possibly think these current officials were the best for the position? Folks will find it hard to put their party on the back burner and vote for what's best for all, not for them.
Heather's candidate has been an unmitigated disaster for the victims of crime and residents in Loudoun.
So what's a campaign to do??? Tell everyone to look at the squirrel, of course.
I'd be more impressed if the letter writer could name three (3) of Buta's most successful prosecutions. If she's such a good CA, this should be easy!
When you're digging for those three examples, please refrain from including any of the following: soft plea deals (especially for NFL players), the aggressive prosecution of a rape victim's father or one of the many times she went after political opposition.
Also, please try to avoid all the times she's dropped firearm charges for violent criminals. That's simply a terrible look for your candidate.
Thanks!
Thank you Heather Gottlieb for alerting us to these wolves in sheep's clothing. I'll stick with supporting Buta Biberaj. She's a "tried and true" Democrats whose values reflect Loudoun Blue quite well. Happy Passover Loudoun!
If you'd take your blinders... or maybe VR goggles... off you would see that "Loudoun Blue" is an unmitigated disaster. Boot Buta.
Since this is a Constitutional office that Lancaster is running for the penchants of the letter writer are not Jermaine. Yes, it is time to go back to law and order. Democrats elected the worst Commonwealth Attorney, School Board and Board of Supervisors in the history of Loudoun County. Democrat judgement in any elected office has been clouded by the misuse of power such offices have. Boot Buta!
