The FAMiLY Leader announced endorsements in the Johnston School District’s school board elections. It’s the first time the group has endorsed candidates in a local election.
“If you live in the Johnston School District, we encourage you to get out and cast your vote for an outstanding slate of four conservative school board candidates: Michelle Veach, Charles Steele, Lori Stiles and Josh Nelson,” the group said in a release. “These candidates are all professing Christians who are running the forimly establish a tradition of strong values and academic excellence. They are also passionate supporters of parental involvement in education.”
The FAMiLY Leader will send out more than 1,700 mailers in the Johnston community to inform “pro-family voters” about the candidates and encourage them to vote.
“Your vote in a local school board election might be the most impactful vote you ever cast,” the release said. “School districts are small, and voter turnout is often extremely low. The margin between winning and losing is tight, which means your vote carries a lot of weight. And these elections have big consequences for the community as a whole.”
