WAG THE DOG
Hi – I would like to point out that some of the above information regarding WEAC endorsement/support is inaccurate. The Elkhorn Education Association ( a subsidiary of SLUE/WEAC) did not make an endorsement or public on any school board candidate; therefore, Dagmar Knorr is not a WEAC candidate. Shannon Molina who is running for school board in Kenosha was endorsed by the KEA, not WEAC. If you wanted your list to included school board candidates endorsed by their local educational associations, you are missing several.
My apollogy Ellen, this list came from a WEAC member that forwarded it to me.
I believe the message sent stated that it was the local’s recomendation to WEAC members and says >”In school board elections in the Milwaukee area, the following is a list of candidates who have been recommended by their local education associations.”
