In a mass email sent late last night, the Washington University College Democrats say that they have not endorsed anyone in the St. Louis school board race.
"Some people misinterpreted our posting of campaign opportunities for a local school board race for an endorsement," the email said. "We at the WashU College Democrats have not endorsed anybody in this race. Our policy is simply to post whatever campaign opportunities people send to us."
However, Susan Turk, a SLPS parent and a supporter of school board candidates Peter Downs and Donna Jones, says she sent an email to the Wash U Dems last week informing them of an opportunity to help those campaigns this weekend. That info was not sent out to the organization's mailing list.
There was a similar controversy in November with the organization's involvement in 4th district senate race. At that time, information was sent out about volunteer opportunities with Washington University professor Jeff Smith's campaign, with no mention of his Democratic opponents.
