29. We had an insurrectionist run for a local school board position in 2020.

This woman (a police officer with zero education experience) ran on a platform of "depoliticizing the classroom" while at the same time flying a giant Trump MAGA flag on the back of her Jeep. Then went to the insurrection and posted about it on Facebook (there's a picture of her with friends all wearing Trump hats and the caption "A girls' trip to DC!&quot . Then there was an attempt to recall her, and that didn't go anywhere, now we're stuck with this MAGA moron. And I suspect there will be more like her.
