Let's be clear: there are 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 three school board candidates in Wells County running as Republicans. They are listed in this graphic.
If anyone else claims to be running as a Republican, they're misleading you. When filing, every candidate had the choice to either declare a party affiliation or leave it undisclosed on the ballot. Voters deserve to know the distinction.
Openly or actively supporting a candidate in any race running against a Republican nominee, whether that candidate is a Democrat, Libertarian, Independent, or running as nonpartisan, violates Indiana Republican Party Rule 1-25.
Party affiliation matters, and so do our party rules!
