Back on Track America, a conservative political action committee based in Springfield, recently posted its 2024 voter guide for the school board election.
The annual guide, the result of a joint survey with Christians Uniting for Political Action, notes which candidates have aligned with the priorities and beliefs of the group.
The PAC supports candidates Maryam Mohammadkhani, Landon McCarter and Chad Rollins in the April 2 election.
Formed during the pandemic, the PAC backed Mohammadkhani in her successful bid for the board in 2021. It endorsed board members Kelly Byrne and Steve Makoski, who were elected in 2022.
The group supported McCarter and Rollins in 2023, during their first attempt, and again this year.
“Our survey is based on some of the concerns that not only the Christian community, but the community at large had, that in the past that has been ignored or just not addressed at all,” said Calvin Morrow, executive director of CUPA.
Morrow said CUPA and the Back on Track America PAC, led by Dianne Ely, believe voters need to know exactly where candidates stand.
