The Network for Public Education endorsed candidates who strongly support public education, oppose school closings, excessive testing, and privatization. Most of our candidates were underdogs, overwhelmingly outspent. Only Darcie Cimarusti ran unopposed. We are proud of all the candidates who stood up for kids against big corporate money and power. We congratulate them for their courage and tenacity.

Good work, good results, we’ll keep making progress by hammering away.
how many if any won?
sorry, I hadn’t read carefully
Wasn’t Sue Peters the one who had much less money than her competition? I think the public is catching on, and showing that they support the schools, and that they don’t want rich people buying more power. It might be a slow start, but it is a start.
WOW! Sue Peters — the underdog $$$-wise — won!!!!! There’s hope!
So happy about Sue Peters – the right person won.
