    EditorialWhy Creative Loafing picks Karen Perez
    • The race is nonpartisan, but Ken Gay's largest donor is the Hillsborough County Republican Party, which gave him $5,000 in September and endorsed him. CL describes that party as anti-union and fixated on DEI, Muslims in classrooms and transgender students.
    • CL says voters are tired of culture-war bait in school board races.
    • Perez, a social worker and strong public school advocate, is the most qualified, and CL sees no reason not to re-elect her.
