“In the District 1 School Board race, one of two requiring a primary, anti-red plan candidates include Gary Glass \u00e2\u20ac\u201d who’s already a School Board member. Glass ran for a seat in his district because he feared he’d be removed from the At Large seat he already held. He feared removal because he corroborated <\/strong>extensively with the lawyer for Let Duluth Vote, the confuse-everything, grassroots group suing the district. In other words, Glass was working, behind-the-scenes, against the very district he had been elected to represent.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
