TUPELO, Miss. — Education is taking center stage becoming a hot button topic for the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Many voters are looking to see where candidates stand regarding school choice, public school mandates, and threats directly impacting the wellbeing of America’s schoolchildren. This surge to safeguard America’s children enrolled in public schools begins at the board level. However, voters are often left wondering how to choose the best candidates that reflect their personal values — with so much information out there, how can they know who to vote for?
iVoterGuide (ivoterguide.com) is the nation’s premier Christian voting guide, equipping millions of Christians across the nation with powerful resources to help them be informed on the candidates.
“The students of today become the leaders of tomorrow — and school board elections can shape the future of our country,” said iVoterGuide (ivoterguide.com) President Debbie Wuthnow. “Across the nation, parents are in an uproar. They know we are at risk of losing our children and they know we must act now.
“The corrupting influence in our schools only thrives in the absence of godly, biblical influence. Voters can help change that by getting involved. By going to local school board meetings and speaking out, vocal community members make a big difference. It’s so important that Americans educate themselves on the candidates and make sure they vote in their local elections.
“iVoterGuide is here to help. We’ve covered over 150 school board races in multiple states so far in 2023, and our deep-dive voter guides help believers make wise voting decisions in these races. iVoterGuide is in the trenches working to reform our nation’s schools. We’re researching school board candidates in strategic districts around the country, delivering this crucial information to faith-based voters to help them vote wisely. We call it our School Board Victory Campaign — and praise the Lord, it’s produced some incredible wins so far!”
A prime example of how school board members can make a difference in the school experience of students is Loudoun County, Virigina. The area received significant backlash after a student was raped in the girl’s bathroom by a biological male wearing a skirt. Parents were rightfully outraged at the district’s attempts to cover up the assault and, at the subsequent school board election, elected conservative officials to make needed changes in the area’s schools.
“After the tragedy that happened in Loudoun County, iVoterGuide went straight to work to help voters hold them accountable,” said Wuthnow. “Our research team immediately began collecting data on the upcoming school board elections where many of these corrupt members were up for re-election and being challenged by conservatives. These efforts helped take ground in a number of districts and paved the way for more transparency. With the influence of iVoterGuide, multiple school board seats were flipped to family-friendly conservatives — in both Loudoun County and other Virginia counties.
“With the controversies surrounding Loudoun County’s school board, Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed a bill placing all nine seats on the ballot this November. That means nine more chances for our opponents to regain a foothold in Virginia schools. But it also means nine more chances for voters to choose education over indoctrination.
“It is more important than ever before to be an informed voter! It is time Americans protect our children and make educated votes for our nation’s school boards.”
