Special interest groups and individuals are attacking candidates who are challenging incumbents in the Williamson County School Board race. Rather than debating the issues, these groups have poisoned the water and turned a non-partisan race into a political, mud-slinging sideshow. Four challenging candidates are coming to the media to provide a statement addressing these attacks and allegations.

“Thank you all for coming. I am Dr. Beth Burgos, candidate for Williamson County School Board, District 10.
Recently, the election process for WC school board has taken a turn for the worse, and when an absurd article hit the front page of the Tennessean two days ago, we knew it was time to respond. We believe that the citizens of Williamson County deserve to know the truth.We are four individual candidates who have come to know each other over the course of our separate campaigns for Williamson County School Board.None of us previously knew each other except for myself and former educator Candy Emerson. Ms. Emerson taught my children in public school.We find it disturbing that special interest groups would stoop to ANY measure to protect the status quo by attacking candidates who dare challenge the incumbents in an election. Rather than debating the issues, these groups have poisoned the water and turned a non-partisan race into a political, mud-slinging sideshow. Furthermore, since this is a non-partisan race why has the Democrat party endorse the incumbents?Each of us has been accused of:
!
Being part of a “secret group” interested in ousting our superintendent
!
Supporting Commissioner Huffman
!
Making our moves to destroy our public schools, and
!
Wanting to take over the school board.Nothing is further from the truth. All each of us has done is offer ourselves as public servants to the parents and voters of Williamson County.We acknowledge that there have been numerous emails sent out that we have been copied on. We cannot control what other people write or even the emails they send to us or what might be said in those emails. Because we have been recipients of those emails they have found us guilty by association.Not one of us has remotely entertained or expressed the desire to replace our superintendent Dr. Looney. Each of us look forward to working with him and supporting him in in his job as our superintendent and the quest to offer the best education possible in Williamson County.NO ONE and NO “special interest” group has asked ANY of us to run.Individually we are seeking the office of school board under our own accord.There is no “secret group,” no conspiracy, no master plan, just citizens stepping up to offer themselves in public service. We have not made any of our campaigns political or partisan. BUT … a fair election process has been ROBBED FROM US by; highly partisan groups and individuals under the auspices of Williamson Strong, Williamson
