Letters to Our Community – Vote for Ginger Schaaf

As a mom of two D38 students who graduated in 2023, one was the valedictorian at Palmer Ridge that year, I want to voice my support for Ginger Schaaf running for the one contested seat for the District 38 Board of Education. I want to see this district continue to maintain excellence in education while focusing on content that makes a difference and not the many distractions we see across our nation. Ginger is the commonsense conservative choice. A fresh start. A new perspective. A political newbie. A smart, savvy, involved mother of two children currently in D38. She is a proponent of:

• Keeping property taxes low by petitioning Denver for prioritization of educational funding instead of raising property taxes on our local residents with every need.
• Protection of private spaces for girls and sports—Title IX and a Presidential Executive Order provide for this protection as well.
• School choice to include support for Monument Academy.
• Promotion of what is needed to maintain Accreditation with Distinction from the CDE.
• Parent involvement in the education journey of their student(s).
• Age-appropriate content in our school libraries.

I encourage you to vote yes for Ginger on or before 7 p.m. on Nov. 4, 2025. Mail-in or drop box voting only in our district. To all that is good…
