election to fill Tom Conlon's seat. I saw the Minnesota Progressive Project
article by SPIFer Grace Kelly
(http://www.mnprogressiveproject.com/diary/3391/st-paul-school-board-sprint-race)
and I'm grateful to have at least a partial listing of candidates for DFL
endorsement on June 25 - though I would be interested in a list of all
candidates (not just DFL) interested in vying for this seat.
I'm posting this because I just got a call from candidate Louise Seeba. She
spent a fair amount of time with me on the phone, and I will give her a public
shout-out for not pandering to me during the conversation. She was honest,
smart, and had the courage to just start dialing for delegates, including
people like me who have never met her. I don't agree with her on a couple of
issues at least, but hey - I know where she stands. That's a start.
I also know fellow SPIFer Brian Joyce has his hat in the ring, and he's a good
guy. According to Grace's article, candidates include:
Louise Toscano Seeba
Brian Joyce
Meg Lugor
Al Oertwig
Valley Varro
JoAnne Ellis
Anyone have others to add to this list? Anyone know of campaign web-sites or
other places to get information on candidate platforms?
