With just over two months to go and the ballot finalized, the Douglas County School Board race is taking shape and the latest campaign finance reports are in.

Community

  • Kyrzia Parker - District A

  • Tony Ryan - District D

  • Clark Callahan - District E

  • Kelly Denzler - District G

Common Sense

  • Matthew Smith - District A

  • Keaton Gambill - District D

  • Deborah “Dede” Kramer - District E

  • Stephen Vail - District G

The Community slate has collectively raised $51,614 compared to the Common Sense slate’s $48,179. In terms of cash on hand heading into the election, the Community slate collectively has $40,120 in the bank compared to Common Sense’s $33,653. That is at least in part due to the Common Sense slate outspending the Community slate so far.
