25. Tea baggers making a bid for school board in Central WI

HIstorically school board elections in our area were always low key. Now the tea baggers (TB) want to get on the board because of religion and transgender issues. This election they used robo calls and many political signs. One was elected this election because one of the incumbents died but still had her name on the ballot. I believe if she were living she would have been reelected and shut out the TB.
