  1. Wake up Bridgeport and Vote Row D, WFP, for the BOE! With the Republican slate sending out mailers accusing me of being “woke” (guilty as charged), like it’s a bad thing, we cannot have them on our board of Ed! In addition the Republican chair of the BOE disgusting posts to Facebook that state , “African American people who call themselves black are ignorant”, and also sharing joke toys calling gays sinful is the kind off leadership our children do not need.

    Row D candidates stand for equity and inclusion. During my term I started a diversity equity and inclusion committee, and as chair of teaching applied an equity lens to all curriculum to ensure cultural relevancy.

    Just a look at all the Republican anti-vaxers storming board meetings shouting “unmask our kids” across the country. Do we want to entrust them to the most important position in the city?

    There are 9 candidates running for the BOE, voters get to choose 3. We know the 3 Dems will win. It’s the last two seats that are in contention between WFP and the R’s. To keep the seats out of the Republican’s hands people must drop their votes down to row D. This will not hurt the Dems, all 3 will still be elected and I have no issue with them.

    So I ask you Bridgeport voters WAKE UP and take 1, 2,or 3 of your votes and vote Sokolovic and ROW D wherever you see.
