Trying to do my research in advance of early voting days. These are supposed to be "non-partisan" positions, so you can't get a sense of general alignment by party affiliation.
Right now the Sample Ballot has:
Tara Battaglia
Patricia Ann Dorsey
Amanda Jozkowski
James Miller
Tom Scanlan
Steve Whisler
The research I found on James Miller (endorsed by Sherriff DeWees and Dan Cox) and Steve Whisler were positive and they seem like good choices.
Not sure who will get my third vote. I do know that three seconds of research on Amanda Jozkowski showed that I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR HER. The Moms Demand Action endorsement symbol made that crystal clear. Patricia Ann Dorsey seems to be focused on diversity issues as a primary concern, which is not aligned with what I think is most important for the position.
My ideal candidate would be one that focuses on keeping kids safe in the classroom; keeping CRT, gender identify, and other social experiments out of the classroom; focusing on academics/STEM; and supporting special needs students so they aren't left behind.
Anybody else have thoughts on this. Maybe there are only two good choices.
By the way, did I mention, don't vote for Amanda Jozkowski.
