Most people will be voting on schools issues . . . but there is also a Mayoral primary in Fitchburg.
I’m stealing Progressive Dane’s post . . . we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to school board candidates this year . . . 4 candidates, but you can only vote for two. Because I am forced to choose, I’m voting for Ali and Nicki, but its a tough call.
The Spring primary is here! Progressive Dane has made the following endorsements in contested races in the primary. There may be other races on your ballot so we encourage you to research those as well.
Madison Metro School District:
Seat 6 – a dual endorsement for Cris Carusi & Ali Muldrow
Seat 7 – a dual endorsement for Matt Andrzejewski & Nicki Vander MeulenFitchburg Mayor – Steve Arnold
The school board candidates have run smart and detailed campaigns. Here are links to the candidate pages where you can find testimonials from supporters, endorsements from community leaders and elected officials, links to newspaper articles and media profiles:
