Dear John, ​

Ballot counting continues, and we're still keeping an eye on school board races throughout the state. I'm encouraged by the victories that look to be coming through.

Here's a brief update on the school board election results.

• 35 ORTL PAC-endorsed candidates remain ahead in their races.
• Although ballots are still coming in, we feel confident about these wins: two full pro-life slates in Grants Pass and Crook County, Sean Taylor (Greater Albany), David Ligatich (Gresham Barlow), Carol Yardley and Michelle Roberts (North Bend), Brian Lacouture and Josh Haberly (Siuslaw), Santiago Puente (Woodburn), and Satya Chandragiri and Krissy Hudson (Salem-Keizer).
• Sadly, our candidates in the Hillsboro School Board race have likely lost.
• Several candidates are still in close races, including Barbara Crawford (Oakland), Michael Leone (Roseburg), Kathleen Pizzola (Fern Ridge), and Casity Troutt (Salem-Keizer).

Thank you again for your continued support for the pro-life movement, for voting, and for volunteering to support candidates in this crucial election.

Because everyone deserves an advocate,

Sharolyn Smith
Political Director
