Daniel Cody - “Left on the Lake”

In the city-wide school board seat, it’s going to be “In the pocket of the national pro-voucher lobby” Bruce Thompson vs. community activist Bama Brown-Grice.

The 8th district was a bit of a surprise, with progressive candidate Terry Falk besting incumbent Joe Dannecker by nearly 7%.

In the 3rd district, Stephanie Findley came in second behind Michael Bonds. It was pretty tense at first (I was at her result watching party) because the initial returns had her and LEON TODD pretty close, but thankfully she pulled away to finish a strong second.

Besides the Thomspon victory, it was a pretty solid night for progressives in the race for Milwaukee Public School Board. Because he is solidly financed by the pro-voucher industry- much of his money comes from out of state - Thompson is going to be difficult to beat.

Doesn’t it seem silly that it will cost more than $100,000 to win the city-wide seat for school board?
