The Salem-Keizer Public Schools governing board is historically a nonpartisan entity. But candidates in the May 18 election are getting money from notably political sources.
Eleven candidates are running for four open board seats: West Salem s Zone 1, south-central Salem s Zone 3, east Salem s Zone 5 and north Salem s Zone 7.
While the elected leaders will represent specific zones, residents vote for candidates across the district.
Kari Zohner (Zone 1), Linda Farrington (Zone 3), Mike Slagle (Zone 5) and Liam Collins (Zone 7) have been endorsed by more politically conservative groups and political action committees, such as Protect Kids, Oregon Right to Life and Marion+Polk First.
Heat & Frost Insulators Local 36 held a mail ballot election in December for several positions whose terms were up. Ron Mathis was re-elected treasurer and Joel Hendrickson was elected recording secretary, succeeding his wife, Jessica. Both are one-year terms.

Gabe Markowski ran unopposed for trustee. The term is for three years.
Mathis also is an elected business agent/organizer. His term, along with that of business manager Walt Caudle, expires next year. Both plan to run for re-election.
