Seventy-nine percent of Americans agree: keeping biological males out of women’s sports, locker rooms, and restrooms is essential to protecting the safety and privacy of girls and women in educational settings.
Yet here in Colorado, progressive liberals in the Legislature—led by a bill written by a trans-identifying activist—have pushed a radical gender ideology agenda that undermines both parental rights and religious liberties.
In the D38 School Board race, the choice could not be clearer: progressive liberal Jackie Burhans or conservative leader Ginger Schaaf. For parents who care about protecting children, families, and educational integrity, the only real choice is Ginger Schaaf.
Ginger’s platform reflects common sense and community values—lower taxes, academic excellence, school safety, support for teachers, and healthy learning environments. She’s a mother with children in the district and the wife of a retired military officer. Her proven leadership has earned the endorsement of respected education champions, including current BOE members Todd Brown and Kris Norris, former BOE member Chris Taylor, CU Regent Frank McNulty, State Board of Education member Kristi Burton Brown, State Minority Leader Jarvis Caldwell, and former Senate President Bill Cadman.
Meanwhile, Jackie Burhans’ husband is a former Obama field organizer, part of a network of leftist community activists who have learned to blend in by volunteering for everything. They use friendliness and visibility to embed themselves in the community while quietly advancing a divisive political agenda. Now they’re working on every social media platform to smear Ginger Schaaf and mislead voters—the same old tactics of attack, divide, and manipulate I saw firsthand when I served in the Legislature.
Ginger Schaaf will restore sanity, accountability, and academic focus to District 38. Join me in standing up for our children’s future—vote for Ginger Schaaf for D38 School Board.
