First Challenger Jumps into Wake School Board Race

It’s 2011. It’s an off-year. Mayoral races and city council races will be big, but perhaps the nastiest and most expensive race of the year will be for the five seats on the Wake County School Board.

Last week the Governor of North Carolina -again, that’s the GOVERNOR of NORTH CAROLINA- held a fundraiser for Democrat school board candidates. Last night, the first Republican jumped in the race.

It’s Heather Losurdo, erstwhile head of the newly potent Northern Wake Republican Club. She’s ready to take on Kevin Hill, whose District 3 seat on the Wake school board is considered the one most vulnerable to a GOP challenger — of the four seats not currently controlled by the Republicans.

Who “likes” Losurdo? Well, Ron Margiotta does, and John Tedesco, Chris Malone and Deborah Prickett.

The Indy

This post marks the first (and perhaps only) time that The Indy is cited in one of my posts as anything other than comic relief.

Losurdo’s website is up: www.studentachievementfirst.com. I looked to see if Hill had a site up yet, but I couldn’t find one.
