One of the candidates vying for one of the spots in the Avon school board race is Shawna Lake, who was shown in a social media post to have been at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the day the building was attacked.
Photos of Lake wearing a Trump hat, holding an American flag and a Trump flag and posing in front of the U.S. Capitol Building were posted on Twitter in September. The images posted were screenshots taken from Lake’s husband’s Facebook and had the timestamp of Jan. 6, 2021. Lake’s campaign manager, J.D. Thomas, confirmed she was in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6"participating in a constitutionally protected activity" and said she never went into a “restricted area.
Lake has one school-aged daughter who attends private school “because of the cesspool of insanity that government funded education has been allowed to become,” according to her website. She has two other kids. “Our children are not being educated, they are being indoctrinated,” she writes on her website. “Indoctrinated to be a group of socialist, Marxist, America-hating, gender confused, zealots that will one day govern this nation.”
Some of Lake’s points on her platform include supporting parents’ rights, focusing on academic excellence over more political issues and providing students the proper environment and educational tools. Lake is endorsed by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, Indiana Family Action PAC and Purple for Parents Indiana.Early in-person voting has already begun in Indiana and will end on Nov. 7 at noon.
