The Backstory. And votes do matter.
Late last week some local MAGA Republicans sent an ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL text to Republicans about Cathy Moon, the Democrat who is running in the non-partisan school board race.
The text BROKE STATE ELECTION LAWS, in that political messages are required to reveal which registered organization paid for it. That did not occur. It’s obvious which school board candidate would benefit from an anti-Cathy Moon political message, but we do not know who is actually behind the text or who paid for it. That is illegal.
The text also implicated two moderate Republicans who are running for school board. The text senders are scared, and they are trying anything at the 11th hour to get their MAGA extremist candidates elected to the school board, even if they have to resort to devious methods to do it.
Several of us are in communication with our legal advisors and state agencies. We’ve talked with agents and filled out forms. But, investigations take time, and Election Day is TUESDAY, August 18. The perpetrators know that the election will be over before they suffer any consequences or incur any fines.
THE ONLY WAY AND THE BEST WAY TO IMMEDIATELY FIGHT BACK IS TO DO IT FAIRLY AND SQUARELY: OUT-VOTE THEM AT THE POLLS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, ELECTION DAY.
Do you want dishonest, deceptive law-breakers on your school board? Or do you want to get out and vote for candidates who have integrity and a moral compass?
It’s up to you. We vote, we win. And Republicans’ shenanigans would matter a lot less.
Vote on Tuesday, August 18.
7am – 7pm at your local polling place.
Here is a sample ballot with our picks.
Our Democrats HQ is open 10am Monday all day and 7am Tuesday all day (386) 283- 4883.
