City of Anacortes

We believe TJ Fantini is the best choice in this race based on endorsements from our partners and trusted community leaders. Fantini's opponent, Linda Martin, is a MAGA Republican. While we have not been able to conduct our standard independent research on this race, we encourage you to visit Fantini's website, social media, or voters’ pamphlet statement to learn more.

Heather Brennan is running for Anacortes School Board, Director Position 5. Brennan is a retired park maintenance professional for the city and she has worked in para-education for the school district. She is an active volunteer with youth swim coaching and other learning mentorship.

Brennan is running on a moderate platform and her top priorities include closing the opportunity gap, increasing board responsiveness and transparency, and restricting some investments in our students. She believes that her volunteer involvement with the school district and experience as a parent to students in the district qualify her to lead on the board.

Far-right extremist Edward Barton is the other candidate in this race. Though his platform appears rather innocuous, our trusted community partners have identified Barton as another conservative candidate who would like to install right-wing ideas and MAGA conspiracies in our curriculums and schools.

While there are no progressives in this race, Heather Brennan is the clear choice for Anacortes School Board, Position 5.
