"Denver School Board Election: New Members Elected, Incumbents Ousted"

Denver voters elected three new members to the school board, signaling a desire for change amidst rising gun violence and allegations of dysfunction. Former East High School Principal John Youngquist won the citywide at-large race, replacing Vice President Auon'tai Anderson. Incumbents Scott Baldermann and Charmaine Lindsay lost their seats to Kimberlee Sia and Marlene De La Rosa, respectively. The new board members are supportive of keeping police in schools and allowing more autonomy for schools. The election was expensive, with outside groups spending nearly $1.9 million. The new members will be sworn in on November 28.
