I did not make the list. It is the product of a coalition of grassroots groups. It is possible your candidate didn&#039;t present to any of the groups.  Alternatively, there were some candidates that were not included on these lists because if the limit imposed by the process.  These are not lists of great or even acceptable candidates, but rather, slates, and thus limited in size. 

Of all these races the Mtka school board is the one I have the least direct info on. 

Thanks for the info, though, feel free to post a link to a web site for the candidate!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Greg, did you really mean to omit the only BIPOC candidate for Minnetonka School Board from your recommendations? Also, you haven’t taken into account the appointment of a Black anti-CRT/religious conservative physician to a Board vacancy. Mike Remucal is the uniquely qualified  to keep that appointee in check. Please explain your omission of Dr. Mike Remucal.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;So, a stealth MAGA...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The MAGATs here anything but stealthy, whether they are running for some office, arguing with people who are in office, protesting against mask and vaccines, or harassing doctors and nurses who treat the covid patients in our hospitals as those medical workers leave when shifts are done. (Our hospitals now have security escorting them to their cars because of the people waiting for them in parking areas.)]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;I don’t know about the Minnetonka School Board at this time, but in the past, it was nothing even close to liberal. The Wayzata School Board shows no indication of being especially liberal.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I don&#039;t know about MN, but here in MI school boards are decidedly not liberal. I have a feeling that just is the case here in MI &lt;b&gt;liberal&lt;/b&gt; is applied to any person or group that does not support discrimination and whitewashing US history.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s important to remember that Michelle Bachman got her political start on a school board as a member of a slate who chose an election with traditionally low voter turnout.  

Eternal vigilance.  It&#039;s good to have diverse, but not crazy, voices on the local school boards and city councils.  So, a stealth MAGA candidate is not going to run with a red hat but keep the hat in the closet until after they have been elected.  Pay attention and get to know the candidates and then vote.]]></description>
