Pros / Cons
- Pro, for the field as a whole: every name printed above is on a sourced roster for this race — a voter can verify each candidacy from the source named below. Con, for the field as a whole: beyond the roster, no sourced record — no platform, no board votes, no named-organization endorsement aligned with parental rights, curriculum transparency, fiscal restraint, or school choice — was verified for these candidates in this pass. A ballot line is a candidacy, not a record, and we grade it as exactly that.
OUR CALL
Our call: insufficient record — no endorsement. What would earn one here: a published platform or a sourced record on parental rights, curriculum transparency, fiscal restraint, or school choice — or an endorsement from a named organization aligned with those values — verified claim by claim. On a roster alone, LiberalMind does not guess at what a candidate believes.
