Who Is Endorsing You?

That is a great question, which leads me to my philosophy on school boards being partisan.  I don't want, and will not accept endorsements from organizations.  I will not actively ask people to endorse me.  

 

I have been asked to endorse candidates in previous elections.  I have always been uncomfortable when asked to endorse candidates, even those whom I supported.  I look at it like this, why would anybody care who I support or don't support for a local election?  I especially believe this when it comes to a school board race.  See, as a candidate who has been offered endorsements before, I don't want anyone to mistake what an endorsement means.  If an organization gives me their stamp of approval, I don't want them to think they get special consideration or attention that nobody else gets.  There was an organization who offered to endorse me in 2022 and I declined the opportunity.  Some believe that was a key reason why I lost.  If refusing an endorsement cost me an election, then so be it.   I'm not running to serve ANY special interest group or any particular group of people.  I intend to listen to everyone who has a stake in TCSC.  I will not have a political party or a group of "special interests" dictate to me what I need to do or not do.
