Democrats take all 5 open seats on Central Bucks School Board
"The battle for control of the nine-member school board captured national attention, as controversies over COVID policies, LGBTQ+ rights, removal of library books and parental involvement created more than two years of volatile meetings and community protests.With 42% voter turnout and registration between Republicans and Democrats separated by less than 1%, three Democrats won their seats by less than 10%."
^^^ Right wing yahoos had banned books and pulled all kinds of other facist shite, so this below was especially sweet:
"Spending in the school board race in the state’s fourth-largest school district was considered unprecedented. At least $200,000 came from several PACS managed by Paul Martino, founder of Bullpen Capital, according to campaign finance documents.
Martino’s wife, Aarati Martino, lost her bid for a school board seat to Democrat Rick Haring in Region 6."
May both Martinos go fuck themselves.
