We are grateful for the attendance of Joe Hegland, Dan Zumbach, Jason Gearhart, Carolyn Wiezorek, Shannon Lundgren, Steven Bradley, Craig Johnson, and Carrie Koelker. We wish all candidates the best in the upcoming election and look forward to continued advocacy for strong public schools! #wdbqschools
