re: #19 William Lewis

Shrug. Just continue to be who you are in your daily living and if you want to run at that point you can. Or perhaps there are other positions to run for? Is the school board elected there? That could be the way to have an even more real impact on the future… ;)

The school board is elected, but it’s complicated in my town.

Our town disestablished our two-room school in 2005. The town was then divided by property owners as to which school district they wanted to belong to (Dalton in Cheyenne County or Bridgeport in my county).

My house is in the Dalton school district, so I could in theory run for the Dalton school board. That said, in the 2018 Blue Wave the Dalton school district swept out all the Republicans and replaced them with female Democrats. I’m fine with my current school board representatives.

There’s also the problem of running for a school board if you have no school age children or some sort of education or administration college degree: The voters don’t take you seriously.

Another alternative would be to run for the county commission.
