School Board Endorsements

Radical right-wing candidates are pushing an anti-LGBTQ+ student agenda to undermine educational access and opportunity to our youngest members of society. These candidates often succeed because traditionally little attention is paid to these local elections, where fewer than 1% of eligible residents have turned out to vote in some districts.

Delaware Stonewall PAC has reviewed the records and statements of candidates across the State, including responses collected by ACLU-DE’s candidate surveys, and concluded that the following candidates will work to ensure that our schools remain safe spaces for all of Delaware’s students:

Appoquinimink – Tashiba Graham

Caesar Rodney – Nicole Hill

Cape Henlopen – Jessica Tyndall

Christiana District C – Doug Manley 

Christiana District E – Y.F. Lou 

Milford – Danielle Deinert

Red Clay District A – AJe English-Wynn

Red Clay District D – Jose Mathews

Seaford – Stephanie Smith

We enthusiastically support these candidates’ efforts to build diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in our schools. If we do not vote we become enablers for those who have a radical right-wing agenda.

Delaware’s School Board Elections are on Tuesday, May 9. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. To find your school district, use the Delaware Department of Elections search tool at bit.ly/findyourschooldistrict. To find the polling places in your school district, visit the Delaware Department of Elections school board website at bit.ly/deschoolboardelections and click on your school district. You can vote at any polling place location in your school district. If you plan to vote absentee, you must request your absentee ballot, with a valid excuse, before Friday, May 5. Request your absentee ballot online at ivote.de.gov.
