WE VOTE
IN
 EVERY ELECTION

MAY 17, 2022 – School Board
School Board members make decisions that influence
 how money is distributed in schools and how our children are educated
These positions can have a huge impact on the education of children
as well as provide an entry point for local citizens
who want to contribute to their community
and to the greater good

Board positions can also attract people who want to gain a foothold
in order to advance dangerous views

Everyone should vote when school board elections take place!

GOOD DEMOCRATS VOTE!!!
We are sharing information about two candidates
for the Rhinebeck School Board
whose missions align with ours at Hudson Valley Strong

If you would like us to introduce school board candidates to our readers from your communities
Please
email relevant information to us
Check your local school district website
and inquire about absentee ballots if needed
Pay attention to deadlines!
