Dear Candidate,
Congratulations on your decision to run for office.
For over 20 years, restoringthecaliforniadream.com has conducted California election forums where we make specific candidate recommendations based on a 5-star rating scale.
Last election cycle we had about 1 million voters following our endorsements, many of whom were in your district.
Besides conducting a dozen live Election Forums and several webinars giving endorsements, we will post our endorsements of candidates on our four websites, emailing and publicizing our recommendations to several hundred thousand California voters.
In addition, our recommendations are also broadcast on radio, TV, and podcast platforms.
In your office we will either say:
- Endorsed…Giving you a 3 to 5 star rating
- Not endorsed…Giving you a 1 to 2-star rating
- Refused to disclose position…Usually a 1 to 2-star rating
I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully giving you our endorsement.
- What is your name and what office are you running for?
- What are the three (3) most pressing issues facing the school district? Please
prioritize them. What, if anything, do you plan to do about them if you are
elected to the position of governing board member? What specific promises
will you make to the voters in order to be elected?
(1)
(2)
(3) - Do you support or oppose the Transgender Bathrooms? Why or Why not?
- Do you support or oppose the law that allows the school not to notify parents
of pronouns or transition deception of their child? - There a drop out problem in our schools. What can we do about it?
- Do you believe the local school district should allow parents to review
curriculum and books in the school library? - Do you favor or oppose the expansion of charter schools within the school
district? Why or why not? Do you favor or oppose the use of voucher system
or school choice? Why or Why not? - Local control: As California is increasingly overriding local decision-making,
would you be willing to stand up to the state in opposition? If so, why and
how? - Do you believe there is a place for celebrations of religious holidays and
singing religious music in holiday programs? What would you support and
allow and what should be excluded from the school? - When teaching science, should alternatives to evolution (such as Intelligent
Design) be taught in public schools? Should individual instructors be given
leeway to teach both points of view? Or should only the accepted theories of
evolution be taught without mentioning the scientific objections to the theory? - Do you favor or oppose new taxes, fees, or bonds?
- Will you support or oppose those choosing homeschooling?
- What national politician do you admire the most and why?
- What does Critical Race Theory mean to you and what are your thoughts
about the teaching of Critical Race Theory in public school? - What are your thoughts about transgender boys playing in girls’ sports and
dressing in girls’ locker rooms? - Should teachers be teaching values to students, and should they be telling
students what to believe and what to think, or should they merely be teaching
the subject matter? - Who should have final control over the content of a child’s education, including
the books they read? - Do you believe in absolute truth? Why or why not? If you believe in absolute
truth, what is the source of absolute truth? If you do not believe in absolute
truth, how do you determine what is true?
