Celebrate the Wave of School Board Wins for Democrats

Across the country, voters just delivered a resounding win for public schools and community-focused leadership. In Cypress, Texas — where Republicans spent two years banning textbook chapters on climate change, diversity, and vaccines — Democrats flipped the school board and ended the culture-war takeover. And they weren’t alone.

From Pennsylvania to Ohio, Democratic-backed candidates won key school board races by focusing on what families actually care about: strong academics, safe schools, and less political chaos. Voters rejected book bans, manufactured controversies, and extremist distractions — choosing leaders committed to making school boards “boring again” and getting back to the basics of education.

Groups like the Pipeline Fund and local organizers helped build these victories, proving that when communities show up, real progress follows.
