From the Solicitor's website:
The Gwinnett County Solicitor’s Office is responsible for the prosecution of all State misdemeanor crimes in the State Court of Gwinnett County and all County ordinance violations (including traffic citations) in the Recorder’s Court of Gwinnett County.
Two candidates: Rosanna Szabo and Brian Whiteside
Why can't I find a website for Whiteside?? I found an article from the Gwinnett Daily Post that talks about both candidates, but surely Whiteside has a dedicated webpage somewhere. Maybe not...I found this site that lists all of the candidates for races in Gwinnett County and all this fellow has is a Facebook page. Seriously. My elementary students could design a basic webpage. How are you going to say you're running for office and not have a dang webpage where people can find out about your beliefs and qualifications?
I read through Szabo's page and found nothing particularly out of line. Case closed.

On to Gwinnett District 2 Board of Education candidates: Wandy Taylor and Steve Knudsen.
OMG. In this race we have an EDUCATOR with her doctorate running against a guy who doesn't describe any type of work experience on his website. He's a dad of kids who have attended Gwinnett Public Schools. He says vague things about common core so here we have another non-educator talking about things out of his realm of experience. First of all, we don't use the official Common Core standards in Georgia and although I don't teach in Gwinnett County, I do know that they have their own set of additional standards or learning targets. So basically, what Knudsen is saying he'll work on has already been resolved.
So you can vote for Wandy who has spent her career working in public schools or you can vote for Steve who's job status is unclear. Am I beginning to sound cynical??
