This post does a great job explaining what happens when a Moms for Liberty candidate gets on your school board, and they’re speaking from experience. Two Moms for Liberty candidates for State Board of Education were knocked out in the primaries, but District 1 (discussed in this post) and District 3 have Moms for Liberty candidates, who were ousted from their local school boards after proving themselves unworthy of those jobs, now running for State Board. Listen to the people who experienced their tenures when they tell you they were happy to see them go. District 7 also has a Moms for Liberty candidate. If these 3 win, they will join Debbie Potter and Connie O’Brien who were also elected with support for Moms for Liberty and those trying to take over our State Board. In these seats, we recommend Jennifer Lloyd, Amy Diediker, and Ann Zimmerman who will better serve our schools and their communities. We also support Jean Clifford and Lorie Wood in District 5 and Destry Brown and Heather Guernsey in District 9.

“Kansas District 1 Kids Need Leadership Rooted in Our Communities – Not Amy Cawvey’s Outside Agendas. When choosing representation for the Kansas State Board of Education, the focus should remain squarely on what happens inside our local classrooms.
Amy Cawvey’s campaign relies on national political panels, out-of-state PAC endorsements like the 1776 Project, and imported culture-war talking points. But political theater and outside agendas don’t teach a child to read, solve a special education funding deficit, or keep qualified teachers in our schools. Headlines and soundbites don’t deliver results for Kansas families.
Our students and schools deserve practical, student-centered leadership: Listen directly to local parents, teachers, and community members across District 1 – rather than taking cues from national political groups. Understand the real problems facing our classrooms instead of manufacturing division. Work collaboratively with local school boards, superintendents, and educators to build real consensus. Measure results based on actual student academic growth, literacy benchmarks, and classroom outcomes.
Real education leadership isn’t about fighting outside battles – it’s about focusing on literacy, math, special education funding, teacher support, and safe schools.
It’s time to move past Amy Cawvey’s agenda-driven politics and choose leadership that puts our kids, our schools, and our communities first.”
