Victory
DSA comrade
Louisville Democratic Socialists of America. August 16 2020·
Louisville DSA is proud to endorse Chris Kolb for School Board's re-election this November!
In his time on the board, Chris has been an outspoken and stalwart advocate for working class students, their families, and teachers.
Chris played a crucial role in defeating former Governor Matt Bevin and his state education chief Wayne Lewis in their nefarious and cruel takeover attempt of JCPS.
In addition, Chris helped JCPS significantly beef up its racial equity policies, and has added over a hundred mental health professionals to our schools.
We are proud that Chris is a Louisville DSA member and that he has courageously used his position to advocate and sound off on many issues that affect working families in the Louisville area.
