Election 2025 QA with Edmonds School Board candidate Jason Moore
Jason Moore is running for the District 4 director seat on the Edmonds School Board, opposing incumbent Thom Garrard. A U. S. Navy veteran and small-business owner, Moore believes the current board lacks diversity in thought and fails to engage with differing opinions from the community. He plans to reform the "secret society" study sessions, which he claims are structured to keep information hidden from the public.
Moore's military service and experience in the carpentry industry provide him with a unique perspective, free from biases or conflicts of interest. He argues that the board's practices are unacceptable for an agency managing a nearly $500 million budget and stresses the importance of transparency in governance. His candidacy reflects a commitment to ensuring that all viewpoints are considered in educational policy discussions. Moore's determination to challenge the status quo highlights the growing need for diverse representation in local government. His campaign seeks to empower parents and community members to voice their concerns effectively.
