Some school boards that have become conservative-leaning will have an easier time banning books and history-related curriculum and advancing policies that challenge the wellbeing and safety of LGBTQ youth.
Hundreds of school board elections took place Tuesday, including races where candidates ran unopposed and others where entire conservative slates ran to replace liberal-leaning boards.School board races are largely nonpartisan, but in some places, conservative groups worked to influence races with small financial investments and messaging around parental rights.
Moms for Liberty, a national network of dozens of dark-money groups that do not have to disclose where they get their money, says it endorsed 270 candidates. In Cape May County, New Jersey, three candidates backed by Moms for Liberty were leading over their opponents for seats on the nine-member Ocean City School District board, according toIn Carroll County, Maryland, three candidates backed by The 1776 Project PAC are leading their opponents, according to complete, unofficial returns. With all 50 precincts reporting, Tara Battalgia received 20.5% of the vote, Steve Whistler received 19.51% of the vote and James Miller received 17.9% of the vote.
