Moms for Liberty endorsed 13 candidates in Iowa. 12 lost. [View all]

Saw this on FBook.

Moms for Liberty chapters across lowa endorsed 13 candidates in the 2023 school board races. Out of the 13, a single candidate won in the 135 school district; a rural district with fewer than 1000 students.


In my neck of the woods, the candidates that were pushing a Moms for Liberty agenda, although they weren't officially part of the Nazi Moms, failed miserably. In fact all of our school board winners were Dems and one left leaning indy. It was a good night.

Here are a few stories:
