OTHER INFORMATION
In their 2023 endorsement of the candidate, Citizen Action Wisconsin said, "Both Gillian Battino and Fred Tealy [sic] are running as a slate, against 3 conservative candidates recruited and backed by the Republican Party...The steering committee is excited that former educator Fred Tealey stepped up to run. Fred has spent time spoking out at public meetings to make sure schools with majority minority student populations and students living in poverty get the resources they need. He is aligned with Citizen Action values, and the NC committee is excited to work to get him elected."
The Chad Holmes Show, March 9, 2023, interview with Fred Tealey on issues in this race. Most of the discussion was on the proposed restructuring. At the 40:00 mark, Fred Tealey lists his other main concern as the trend toward "censoring" books in schools. He says, "I would be very strong and militant about that, to not allow censorship in this school district."
