In another Election Day victory over right-wing forces, a progressive mother of an LGBTQ+ child has beaten the daughter of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in a Virginia school board race.

LGBTQ-supportive mom Allison Spillman defeated Meg Bryce by a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent for an open at-large seat on the Albemarle County School Board, local newspaper The Daily Progress reports. The county includes Charlottesville, home to the University of Virginia. It’s a strongly liberal area, even though white supremacists chose Charlottesville for a rally site in 2017.

Spillman has five children in the Albemarle County public schools, including one her campaign website describes as “a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.” Bryce, Scalia’s daughter, has four children, all of whom attend private schools. She took them out of the public schools because she opposed steps the district took during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some voters expressed concern during the campaign that Bryce would impose far-right policies, such as banning books and quashing LGBTQ+ content, and would seek to divert funding to private schools and homeschooling.
