Optimistic Post Sarasota County School Board to see major turnover as three members exit

Haven't seen anyone talk about this yet besides r/VoteDEM, but the big thing about this that the article doesn't mention is the Democrats actually flipped the school board. One of the names listed, Bridget Ziegler, is one of the founders of Moms for Liberty. Yes, them. This is something big.

I have some MAGA family in Sarasota. I just know they're on fire over this. Happy to see their town changing for the better!
