Candidate Questionnaires and Responses - School Board

The 15th Ward Democrats sent a questionnaire to each person running in the April 7th election for Board of Education.  Of the six people on the ballot, four replied to our questionnaire and their answers are posted below.  One replied that he has decided not to run for school board but it was too late to remove himself from the ballot.  Finally, one did not return a questionnaire. The six people on the ballot are (in ballot order):

• Natalie A. Vowell - 15th Ward Dems questionnaire response
• Thomas R. Oldenburg - has decided not to run
• David L. Jackson, Jr. - 15th Ward Dems questionnaire response
• Katherine M. Wessling - 15th Ward Dems questionnaire response
• Charli A. Cooksey - 15th Ward Dems questionnaire response
• Joey C. Hollins - did not respond

On April 7th, you will have the opportunity to vote for TWO of the candidates on the ballot for school board.  We hope that this information will assist you as you make your decision.

As a reminder -- it's also important to vote on April 7th for our two Democratic candidates for President of the Board of Aldermen -- Lewis Reed -- and 15th Ward Alderman -- Megan-Ellyia Green!
