This election is an example of how every vote counts. Thank you to Rural People's Voice for all the help and support they provided. The outcome of this election would have been different without their hard work and support. Mil gracias!

14 votes. A handful of households. At the end of a long election campaign, 14 votes ensured Wenatchee will keep a powerful voice for all students on the school board.

Maria Iñiguez is one of the hardest working candidates we’ve ever seen. She, along with RPV organizers and interns, knocked on hundreds and hundreds of doors in her district to talk with voters about what matters in our public schools. What they heard was a shared desire for:

✏️ Academic rigor
⚽️ Supportive services, like before & after school programs
⭐️ Opportunity for every single student in Wenatchee–no matter their background, family income bracket, or what language is spoken at home

Never forget: In rural elections, every vote counts.

Congratulations, Maria!

We did it! The election was certified today at 1:30 pm with Maria as the winner. With a 14 vote difference there will be a recount however, based on the Chelan Co. Auditor, Skip Moore he does not anticipate the numbers to change.

The race is still too close to call with ballots left to count. The good news is that we maintain the lead, the not-so-good news is that we will have to wait TWO WEEKS until the next and final count. Thank you for all the messages of support and kind words. For now, the work shall continue.

Still too close to call. Grateful to retain the lead. The next and final count is Monday at 4.

We are honored to be in the lead after the first set of results today but will be watching future results closely. The next results will be released on Thursday at 4:00 pm. Thank you for your trust, support, and vote.

I am so proud of our school district staff and Superintendent, Dr. Kalahar. I am honored to have served as the Board President during his hiring.
One day left to turn in ballots.

Opinion | Dr. Kory Kalahar: Setting the record straight about Wenatchee schools The Wenatchee School District has been the subject of a recent mailer disguised as a newspaper that contained misleading information about our schools. As the superintendent, I want to clarify

VOTE VOTE VOTE!! Our children’s education may be greatly impacted. Please return your ballot as soon as possible, the deadline is 8:00pm tomorrow, Nov 7.

“Doing the hard work” is what a supporter said. He was surprised that I was personally knocking on doors. Yup, I work hard and give back because that is what my mother instilled in me.
Ballots are due on Tuesday by 8pm.

Another fabulous evening of sign waving. We love the waves and honks.
