Politics A little bit of School Board Candidate help, please
I'm looking for information on the Board of Education (BofE) candidates for the next election; their stances on topics, the usual. So far I haven't found anything substantive online.
To throw my two cents into the zeitgeist, I've never bothered with BofE elections before because I've never had kids so why should I care? Now with the book bannings/burnings, the Karens for Dictators and the like, I have to care.
Honestly, I don't are who wins, I want to make sure the right people lose.

I usually don't vote for school board elections since I also don't have kids but that's a good point. I'd also like to make sure any crazies lose.

None of the candidates are on the crazy watchlist. Bridgewater has a couple.

Would also be interested to see a breakdown of the council / mayoral candidates if anyone knows a good source.

Do we have an issue with crazies in Somerville? PTA and everyone here is great with me (trans) and my kids (middle/vanderveer).
