Kevin Hill is being attacked by Heather Losurdo in the race for control of the Wake County (Raleigh) School Board seat. If Hill wins, then Democrats will control the board. If Losurdo wins, then the Tea Party controls the board. This is a VERY important race. It seems Losurdo has called her rich supporters and has now taken in more money than any other candidate before her.
Earlier this week, we learned that Losurdo lied on her campaign website. She said she managed $2 billion in a loan portfolio at First Union (which became Wachovia which became Wells Fargo). In reality, she was basically a bill collector. She also worked in a strip club. She's also never attended college. This is kind of amazing because she would be representing a very highly educated district.
I know this might not seem like a big deal to most of you, but this race will determine the direction the largest school district in NC will go. We might not be able to compete with the big name, high dollar donors that are buying Losurdo, but we can get people to give a few bucks to a worthy candidate.

It should be noted that Kevin Hill beat Losurdo once already, but came in 57 votes shy of the 50% mark he needed to hit. Losurdo has put a sign on every corner in North Raleigh and is actively walking the neighborhoods. Hill's team is doing the same, but we need people to get out and vote next Tuesday.
