Southwest Washington School Board Races – November 2021

On November 2nd you will elect school board members across Southwest Washington State. These are four (4) year positions so the choices you make will have impact for years.

There are a number of issues up for consideration during this election cycle. Where do the candidates stand on CRT? Common Core? CSE? Masks? Vaccination of children? Funding?

These races are all non-partisan so political parties are not intended to be part of the discussion. However, there are some philosophical differences. Namely, are the candidates positions more liberal or conservative? Do they believe in the Feds/State telling parents what to do and how to do it or are they for local control and parental choice? Do school board directors believe they can take stands against mandates or do they believe their hands are tied?

We’ve gone through the list of candidates and looked for those we believe are for parental rights, taking a stand against mandates, against CRT and CSE and have issues with mandatory masking. This is our view only. Please take the time to review the candidates yourself and then vote. Given that less than 1/3rd of eligible voters actually vote your vote is worth 3 people. Use it. You will notice there are several districts not listed. We couldn’t get enough information to get a sense of where those candidates stand. They chose not to respond to questions. In many cases they are incumbents running for reelection or they had no opponent so they didn’t answer. So we skipped those.
