Gwendolyn Posey–a conservative, a Republican, and most importantly a school choice advocate, is running for LAUSD School Board this year.
Her stance in defense of charter schools is reason enough to put her on the school board of the second largest school district in the country.
We need Posey!
PLEASE contact her and show her your support (and donate to her campaign!)
Thank you, Dr. Hernandez, for getting the word out on Posey's accomplishments!
