I have recently become aware of this organization spearheaded by Jennifer Jenkins. They position themselves as opponents of Moms For Liberty in the fight to control school boards. Check out their website: Educated. We Stand and see what you think.
The Minnesota House DFL on Sept. 9 elected Rep. Zack Stephenson, District 35A, which includes Anoka and the majority of Coon Rapids, to serve as caucus leader during an organizational caucus. The House DFL currently has 66 members, pending a special election in District 34B on Sept. 16 with Xp Lee, DFL, facing Ruth Bittner, GOP.
Abbey Payeur, Mom of three, brings experience and expertise to the role of school board member. Running in District 4 of Anoka-Hennepin, Abbey is in it to win. She is busy meeting community members and speaking about the importance of making school boards use evidence-based decision-making. Board members must use their positions to make good decisions for the wellbeing of the kids and to strengthen our community. Abbey had a booth at the Ham Lake Freedom Festival on Saturday, June 28th and also attended the Andover Family Fun Fest on July 11th and 12th. A Town Hall (TBA) is coming soon.
Future events will be posted here and on Abbey’s website.
