North Dakota: Williston Basin School Board Members survive recall vote

Williston Basin School Board President Chris Jundt, VP Kyle Renner and member John Kasmer al survived their recall elections, with Renner receiving 1304 votes, Kasmmer, 1291 and Jundt 1223. Their opponents, Ryan Park and Jonathon Greiner got 715 and Sharlet Mohr  got 665.

The group backing the recall appears to be connected with Moms for Liberty, the far-right group that has looked to ban books in libraries and schools.  The Williston Teacher's Union endorsed the incumbents.

The effort also targeted Cory Swint, Heather Wheeler and Sarah Williams, though no word on what happened.

Jundt took office in winning a recall in 2019 against school board members

Dennis Nehring, one of the leaders of this recall effort, won a recall in 2020.
