This year is one of the most important Presidential elections of our lives. We must vote Trump out and restore a functioning government with Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris in the White House. Also of great importance are the School Board races in County Council Districts 2, 3 and 6. We must elect experienced educators to have a functioning School Board that works for ALL our teachers and students. Join us as we rally voters for the 2020 Presidential and School Board Elections!
