Abstract

use the church he attends has other races as members.I’m not worried about him, but I am worried about the person who will probably win the State Board of Education seat for our area. This person is another Q supporter, home-schools her children, and handily defeated the incumbent, a former school teacher. There is a Democratic challenger, but this is a very red area, and a Democrat winning here is a pie-in-the-sky thought.One of the problems with the candidate is that she supports vouchers, is adamant against any sex education whatsoever and supports book bans, and promotes her radical religious views on education. She recently lost a local school board election (handily) and decided to keep trying with a statewide post. The Democratic candidate has been a school board member since 2012 and is highly respected.But this is a lower ballot race. Most people won’t even pay attention to it or the other lower-ballot races. They will look at the governor's race, congress, and that is about it. For the rest, they will just check the (D) or (R) and go on, even if the candidate is not qualified. Texas has a habit

of doing that and we have a lot of public servants who have no business being in those positions.I continue to hope that voters will take the time to learn about who is running for a particular seat and look at if they truly represent how they believe.

The Q’s are targeting lesser-known races for this fall. You need to look closely!

I live in small-town Texas. We have a school board election coming up in a few weeks. One of the positions has the incumbent, who seems to be well-respected, against a newcomer to the city. This newcomer is very involved with the MAGA faction of the Republican party. I know this because the candidate touts that fact proudly on his social media. Fortunately, most of the residents of the school district understand that this candidate is not interested in the school district, but only promoting his religious mantra in the school. He is one that wants to ban books, talks about banning non-existent CRT training, but yet says he is not racist because the church he attends has other races as members.
