Why nonpartisanship matters
A nonpartisan school board seat protects every student — and every candidate
For the race
Michigan school board elections are nonpartisan by law. The ballot lists names, not parties, because the work of a board member is operational, not ideological: budgets, contracts, student outcomes, and public timelines. When a candidate keeps the race nonpartisan, voters judge ideas on their merits instead of party labels.
For every candidate
A nonpartisan frame raises the floor for everyone on the ballot. It forces each candidate to explain what they would actually do, how they would vote, and how they would be accountable — rather than relying on party affiliation to do the talking. That makes the whole field sharper and more responsive to families.
For bipartisan governance
School boards succeed when members from different backgrounds can find common ground on measurable goals: reading growth, special education compliance, safe buildings, and stable budgets. A nonpartisan board room keeps the focus on student evidence, not party-line pressure, so bipartisan coalitions can form around what actually works.
For this campaign
Dr. Hubbard runs without a party slate and declines partisan attack framing. The campaign welcomes volunteers, surrogates, and endorsers from any party — or none at all — who want public decisions made in public, on the record, and on time. That is the standard this kit is built to support.

Surrogate program · Step 1 of 3
