https://firstfocus.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/ElectionBallotBox.jpg600262School board elections have proven once again that voters reject extremist education policies touted by groups like Moms for Liberty and politicians like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Of the 23 candidates endorsed by Gov. DeSantis in Florida’s August school board races, only six won. Nearly twice that many — 11 — lost. The remaining six are headed into runoffs in November. In South Florida, two school board members appointed by DeSantis both lost their seats. In Pinellas County, one of Florida’s largest swing counties, two of the three candidates endorsed by Moms for Liberty lost. The third heads to a runoff.
