More than 85% of the donations in the Orange Unified School Board members recall were donated by individuals giving an average of about $450 (the rest was from the teachers' union). About 10% of the individual donors were worked in the school system. The total raised was $227,000 from about 400 people.
On the other side of the ledger, the opponents of the recall was $260,000, with about a 1/3rd from 115 individual donors and the rest from conservative groups.
Board members Madison Klovstad Miner (27,674-24,113) and Rick Ledesma (27,782-23,888) lost their races. The recall is over the firing of the school superintendent with no explanation.
The school board members were part of a conservative 4-3 majority and the firing was over complaints about policies to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and critical race theory.
