Katie Blaxberg, a former legislative aide to former state Rep. Chris Latvala, is running for the Pinellas County School Board in District 5.
The district seat is currently held by Carol Cook, a longtime incumbent who has served since 2000 and hasn’t said whether she will run again. Cook previously indicated her decision may come down to who files to replace her.
Blaxberg supports Gov. Ron DeSantis’ education agenda – including school vouchers, regardless of family income, for private school – according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The Times reported Blaxberg has three children – two in private school and one who is home-schooled.
