There is absolutely no reason to have candidates for an EDUCATION position run as Republicans or Democrats. People mindlessly vote for candidates with "R" next to their name in this state, and there's no need for that nonsense in school board elections. School boards should absolutely be non-partisan.

However, I think this one will be a hard sale in the senate. Everyone that cares should contact their senator today and let them know that you support direct, non-partisan elections of state school board members.
