A cohort of conservative school board candidates in Florida backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) rode the coattails of his landslide victory Tuesday and won their respective races.
30 school board candidates over the summer. The governor's parent-focused education agenda made national headlines earlier this year as a parental rights bill the governor supported was dubbed the"Don't Say Gay" bill by critics outraged at a provision that prohibited classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for students from kindergarten to third grade.
At his victory party Tuesday, DeSantis leaned into the culture wars that catapulted him into the national spotlight, proclaiming,"Florida is where woke goes to die."outright in August, but six candidates endorsed by the Republican governor faced runoff elections Tuesday, and all of them won. Overall, 25 of the 30 candidates DeSantis endorsed won their respective elections.

Elsewhere, DeSantis-endorsed Cindy Spray defeated Harold Byrd for a seat on the Manatee County School Board, as did Al Hernandez, whom the governor backed for a seat on the Pasco County school board, and in Volusia County, the governor's preferred candidate, Jamie Haynes, defeated Albert Bouie.Lee County school board candidate Sam Fisher, with DeSantis's support, defeated Kathy Fanny, who had the backing of the local Democratic Party.
