To better inform Oregon voters of their choices in the 2025 Special District Election, the Political Action Committee of the Linn Benton NAACP brings you this guide. Candidates in contested school board races were invited to answer our questionnaire. Each candidate received the same set of questions.  Their answers are presented here.*  We are very grateful of their participation and service to our community.

The NAACP is a non-partisan organization. We do not endorse individual candidates. We do promote racial justice, the democratic process and access to candidate information.

* We required each responding candidate to limit answers to 250 words.  When that limit was exceeded, we shortened answers.  You will find an ellipsis (. . .) where this action was taken.

Candidate statements submitted by Albany (GAPS) school board candidates are found on pages 14-17 of the Benton County Voters' Pamphlet.  Linn County does not post an online voters' pamphlet.
