Now the School Board candidates must shift to raising money to qualify, because they realize it is IMPOSSIBLE to gather the rest of the 3,184 petitions needed by May 11 during the coronavirus shutdown of group meetings!  Why do they have such a large petition requirement?  Because their races are still AT-LARGE!  (School Board races should be single-member district as well!!)

So, CHIP IN if you will, to help them raise the $1,650 qualifying fee!!


School Board elections are non-partisan, and are still conducted at-large. That means any School Board candidate must submit over 3,000 verified petitions before May 11.

Board to discuss redistricting Tuesday May 7

From Kindra Muntz:

PLEASE ATTEND

The Sarasota County Commissioners are moving ahead with steps toward redistricting the county in 2019!

WHAT:  County Commission Meeting
WHEN: Tuesday, May 7, 9:00 AM
WHERE: Commission Chambers at the Robert L. Anderson Center, 4000 South Tamiami Trail, Venice.

You may have seen the guest column in the Herald- Tribune yesterday or one in the Venice Gondolier (also May 1) or in the Englewood Sun and North Port Sun last weekend.


The County Commissioners will hear the report on proposed redistricting from County Administrator Jonathan Lewis at the coming BOCC meeting May 7th.


Please attend on Tuesday May 7 if you can and encourage others to do so as well:  We want the Commissioners to know we are paying attention and want a balanced redistricting process, if redistricting must occur this year!  The President of the Sarasota League of Women Voters so aptly made the case in the attached Letter to the Editor of the Herald-Tribune April 16. 


Thanks for your support.

Please call if any questions.
