So this is the time to get people that are otherwise angst-ridden, upset, powerless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, Democrats have long used school boards as a recruiting and training ground for political candidates — with help from teachers unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the state Democratic party isn’t amping up its school board efforts in 2022, the GOP is going in big with its \u003ca href=\"https://www.cagop.org/s/parentrevolt\">Parent Revolt program\u003c/a> — what party officials call their most tailored school board recruitment and training program ever. It includes \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CAGOP/status/1544790671273299968?s=20&t=2ieVokP71SLOfI0-0pHVqQ\">virtual training sessions\u003c/a> that detail how and where to run for office, plus tips for digital campaigns and going door to door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal: \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-education-april-2022/\">to capitalize on COVID pandemic frustrations\u003c/a> and concerns over “critical race theory” and other issues among parents of school-age children — and win not only school board seats but also, eventually, legislative and congressional races by reengaging core Republican voters and attracting independents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are about 2,500 races for local school board seats in California in November — about half of the total 5,000 seats, according to the California School Boards Association. The filing deadline for candidates was Friday, though it was extended until today for seats held by incumbents not seeking reelection.

That’s a departure from the last midterm election in 2018, when it was one of the state’s most hotly contested races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of teachers unions, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2022/superintendent-of-public-instruction/tony-thurmond/\">Tony Thurmond\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2018/11/california-schools-chief-tuck-thurmond/\">narrowly defeated school choice advocate Marshall Tuck\u003c/a>. The two — both Democrats in the nonpartisan race — spent $60 million combined. This year, there has been little challenge to Thurmond, who won 46% of the vote in the June 7 primary, just shy of the majority he needed to win outright without going to November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His challenger on Nov. 8, Republican \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2022/superintendent-of-public-instruction/lance-christensen/\">Lance Christensen\u003c/a>, earned a top-two spot with only 12% of the vote. He has raised only about $55,000 so far, compared to nearly $1.7 million for Thurmond, who is also boosted by $2.3 million in independent expenditures on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP’s lack of attention to the superintendent race is a reflection of the party’s record statewide and the daunting odds of unseating a Democratic-backed incumbent, given the 2-to-1 Democratic advantage in voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Republicans have “become a party that focuses on presidential politics and local campaigns,” said Dan Schnur, a politics professor at UC Berkeley, USC and Pepperdine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focus on school board races, he said, “is a logical outgrowth of that strategy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials, consultants and candidates for both parties say school choice is not at the forefront of the election this year for a number of reasons, including the pandemic, the shift of the issue to the local level, and the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1505\">Assembly Bill 1505\u003c/a> in 2019, which changed how publicly funded charter schools operate in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the GOP is seeking to capitalize on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-education-april-2022/\">increased political engagement of parents\u003c/a> — which started with COVID policies, but has carried over to national issues such as critical race theory and sex education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a real demand that this power structure is challenged and overturned, and that’s what we’re seeing right now,” Steel said. “We don’t lead it. We don’t own it. But if we can help inspire people, particularly newcomers … ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not every candidate running for school board as a Republican gets the party’s support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey Erik Perrine, a member of the far-right Proud Boys, was banned from participating in the Sacramento County Republican Party’s events after aggressive behavior, including threats to members and derogatory comments about immigrants, said Betsy Mahan, chair of the county party. Mahan said Perrine’s removal was not strictly about his association with the Proud Boys, but about his behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t ask people what organizations they belong to,” she said. “We look at how they act and if they are supportive in general of our party platform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state party says it doesn’t give directly to school board candidates, but said its training provides nonmonetary support. The April workshop and virtual event in July had at least 100 attendees each. The party has also conducted one-on-one sessions with prospective candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar to its California Trailblazers program, which focuses on candidates running for legislative seats,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>participants received a binder of information that includes not just deadlines and required forms, but also vendor options, website design tools and tips on how to make the most of campaign funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also a website dedicated to the cause, plus emails sent out weekly from a rotation of Republican leaders: Steel, party Chair Jessica Millan Patterson, U.S. Rep.

Feeling shut out, Felton decided to enter politics, and took part in the state GOP July training session, which she said taught her “the practicality of running.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It did inspire me to think that I can do it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One point emphasized in the training sessions: It usually doesn’t cost a lot to run for school board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost varies depending on the district size, according to Mari Barke, a member of the Orange County Board of Education and director of the California Policy Center’s project to recruit and train local elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barke espouses the low-cost\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>“walk to win” strategy by going door to door, but acknowledges that’s not always possible in large districts, rural areas or gated communities. That’s where mailers come in handy, and they can cost anywhere from $10,000 in a smaller district to $40,000 in a larger one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the GOP, that’s a more cost-effective way to win seats. The state party has said it wants to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/04/california-republicans-convention/\">focus its limited resources on congressional races\u003c/a>, rather than statewide legislative races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fueled by parents’ anger over pandemic school shutdowns, a record \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/updates/a-record-number-of-efforts-to-recall-school-board-candidates-in-california\">50 school board members in California were the targets of recalls\u003c/a> in 2021, according to EdSource.

Don’t bitch to me anymore,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks, the California Democratic Party leader, said the Republican party’s focus on local races is not surprising, given that the Democratic Party has largely targeted state and federal races for the last two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a result, Republicans have been able to maintain some level of relevance on the local level,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is Hicks worried?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, because at the end of the day while Republicans in California are trying to throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks — to keep people angry and to frankly, in my view, destroy a traditional, free public education in California — Democrats have been focused on the most important things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes smaller class sizes and ensuring students have pathways to college and careers, Hicks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, the politics professor, said that while education is an issue that Democrats believe belongs to them, the pandemic concerns could help the GOP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more than likely that Republicans can reinforce their strengths in their regions of core support,” he said. “But it’s an open question whether they can expand beyond that base.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Counter-messaging by Democrats\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the state Democratic Party doesn’t have a specific strategy focused on school boards, it is operating the California version of the Democrats’ national strategy, called “Contest Every Race,” recruiting candidates to run for city council, school board and other local seats, with a \u003ca href=\"https://contesteveryrace.com/about/\">focus on rural areas\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks said the party looks to its county chapters to take the lead on local races. In Placer County, for example, the local Democratic Party is hosting \u003ca href=\"https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/492383/\">phone bank events\u003c/a> every Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Contra Costa County, the local party responded to concerns from school board members who reported being harassed and threatened. It passed two resolutions, one supporting the pandemic measures taken by school board members and calling out “coordinated efforts by a ‘network of conservative groups with ties to major Republican donors and party-aligned think tanks’ to engage in culture war fights designed to intimidate school board members so they can be replaced by radical conservatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second resolution passed in November 2021 backed the district’s \u003ca href=\"https://contracostadems.com/2021/11/18/resolution-saluting-school-board-members-for-supporting-inclusive-and-historically-accurate-instruction-for-our-students-despite-a-coordinated-misinformation-campaign/\">ethnic studies curriculum\u003c/a> and criticized the effort to mislead parents into confusing critical race theory with ethnic studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counter some of the anti-union messaging from GOP-recruited candidates, the California Teachers Association has spoken out in support of pro-union candidates, many of whom happen to be Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11922863\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11922863\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing a business suit stands at a podium with other people in the background.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rusty Hicks attends the Stamp Out Hunger food drive, launched by Edward James Olmos, at MEND: Meet Each Need with Dignity, on May 8, 2018, in Pacoima. \u003ccite>(Greg Doherty/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hicks said that while there’s no formal partnership between the Democratic Party and the CTA, it makes sense that they’re often allied. “I think the Democratic Party is the party of working people,” he said. “I think that means not just workers on the job, but also ensuring that workers on the job get their kids a quality education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Gardiner, spokesperson for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/about-us\">310,000-member California Teachers Association\u003c/a>, said the union’s local chapters do endorse school board candidates, but not along partisan lines.

Feeling shut out, Felton decided to enter politics, and took part in the state GOP July training session, which she said taught her “the practicality of running.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It did inspire me to think that I can do it,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One point emphasized in the training sessions: It usually doesn’t cost a lot to run for school board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost varies depending on the district size, according to Mari Barke, a member of the Orange County Board of Education and director of the California Policy Center’s project to recruit and train local elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barke espouses the low-cost\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>“walk to win” strategy by going door to door, but acknowledges that’s not always possible in large districts, rural areas or gated communities. That’s where mailers come in handy, and they can cost anywhere from $10,000 in a smaller district to $40,000 in a larger one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the GOP, that’s a more cost-effective way to win seats. The state party has said it wants to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/04/california-republicans-convention/\">focus its limited resources on congressional races\u003c/a>, rather than statewide legislative races.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fueled by parents’ anger over pandemic school shutdowns, a record \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/updates/a-record-number-of-efforts-to-recall-school-board-candidates-in-california\">50 school board members in California were the targets of recalls\u003c/a> in 2021, according to EdSource.

Don’t bitch to me anymore,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks, the California Democratic Party leader, said the Republican party’s focus on local races is not surprising, given that the Democratic Party has largely targeted state and federal races for the last two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a result, Republicans have been able to maintain some level of relevance on the local level,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is Hicks worried?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, because at the end of the day while Republicans in California are trying to throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks — to keep people angry and to frankly, in my view, destroy a traditional, free public education in California — Democrats have been focused on the most important things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes smaller class sizes and ensuring students have pathways to college and careers, Hicks said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, the politics professor, said that while education is an issue that Democrats believe belongs to them, the pandemic concerns could help the GOP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more than likely that Republicans can reinforce their strengths in their regions of core support,” he said. “But it’s an open question whether they can expand beyond that base.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Counter-messaging by Democrats\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the state Democratic Party doesn’t have a specific strategy focused on school boards, it is operating the California version of the Democrats’ national strategy, called “Contest Every Race,” recruiting candidates to run for city council, school board and other local seats, with a \u003ca href=\"https://contesteveryrace.com/about/\">focus on rural areas\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hicks said the party looks to its county chapters to take the lead on local races. In Placer County, for example, the local Democratic Party is hosting \u003ca href=\"https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/492383/\">phone bank events\u003c/a> every Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Contra Costa County, the local party responded to concerns from school board members who reported being harassed and threatened. It passed two resolutions, one supporting the pandemic measures taken by school board members and calling out “coordinated efforts by a ‘network of conservative groups with ties to major Republican donors and party-aligned think tanks’ to engage in culture war fights designed to intimidate school board members so they can be replaced by radical conservatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second resolution passed in November 2021 backed the district’s \u003ca href=\"https://contracostadems.com/2021/11/18/resolution-saluting-school-board-members-for-supporting-inclusive-and-historically-accurate-instruction-for-our-students-despite-a-coordinated-misinformation-campaign/\">ethnic studies curriculum\u003c/a> and criticized the effort to mislead parents into confusing critical race theory with ethnic studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counter some of the anti-union messaging from GOP-recruited candidates, the California Teachers Association has spoken out in support of pro-union candidates, many of whom happen to be Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11922863\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11922863\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing a business suit stands at a podium with other people in the background.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-956268204.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rusty Hicks attends the Stamp Out Hunger food drive, launched by Edward James Olmos, at MEND: Meet Each Need with Dignity, on May 8, 2018, in Pacoima. \u003ccite>(Greg Doherty/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hicks said that while there’s no formal partnership between the Democratic Party and the CTA, it makes sense that they’re often allied. “I think the Democratic Party is the party of working people,” he said. “I think that means not just workers on the job, but also ensuring that workers on the job get their kids a quality education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Gardiner, spokesperson for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/about-us\">310,000-member California Teachers Association\u003c/a>, said the union’s local chapters do endorse school board candidates, but not along partisan lines.

He was overwhelmingly re-elected chair at this weekend's convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he's presiding over a ship that, at best, is taking on water: unable to hold onto the bare minimum of seats needed to prevent Democrats from having two-thirds majorities in both the Assembly and Senate, not a single statewide officeholder and a share of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/ror-pages/15day-gen-16/hist-reg-stats.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">registered voters \u003c/a>that now stands at 26 percent, slightly more than the percentage of \"no party preference\" or nonpartisan voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve always said one, two, three election cycles isn’t going to repair that,\" Brulte acknowledged. \"It is a long-term slog.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brulte insists they'll have \"one or two\" strong candidates for governor next year, a year he predicts will see well-funded Democrats attack each other while leaving an opening for a Republican.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But which Republican? The dream candidate seems to be San Diego Mayor \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiego.gov/mayor\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Faulconer\u003c/a>, a Republican elected and easily re-elected with votes from across the political spectrum in a Democrat-majority city. Faulconer is mild-mannered, likable, campaigns before Latino voters in Spanish and has moderate views that could appeal to voters statewide. But so far, he says he's not interested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the first California GOP convention since the raucous gathering last April that saw \"Stop Trump\" forces inside the party waging a last stand to stave off the real estate tycoon's nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The party officials, officeholders, worker bees and grass-roots activists gathered in Sacramento this weekend ranged from excited to resigned to having Trump as the face of the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Randall Jordan, Tea Party California Caucus chair, said \"every day is Christmas\" with Trump in the White House.

That’s a challenge for us because California Republicans are not the same breed of Republicans as you might find in other parts of the country.
