Just FYI - only two candidates are normal, sane folks. Steve Elia, and Karen Keehn are both former teachers in Bishop schools. Steve Elia is a former teacher at Bishop High, who pioneered the AVID program (to support first-time college aspiring students). Karen Keehn (a former Olympian) taught for decades at Bishop Elementary, and helped start Playhouse 395, the local theater company. Steve Elia is also an incumbent, and has a ton of experience on school budgets, and how to maximize student achievement. I hope Steve and Karen get elected.

The other two candidates are both MAGA culture warriors, and would only cause more COVID-era chaos, a la Moms for Liberty idiots. I hope they don’t get in, as they’re more concerned with obsessing over sex education, vaccine nonsense, and book banning.
