âLocal elections are coming up soon and we need your help!â it said. âWe are positioned to seat solid Republicans on our school boards, fire districts, water districts and more. We need your help to make this happen.â
The email went on to list things supporters could do to help seat Republicans on the nonpartisan governing bodies: put up campaign signs, canvass voters and âdogpile.â

In a 4-1 vote Monday evening, the Woodburn school board voted to terminate Superintendent Oscar Moreno Gilson. Member Noemi Legaspi was the dissenting vote.
The discussion on whether to uphold the board s previous intent to terminate was conducted during a nearly two-hour executive session. The board reconvened publicly to vote.
Board chairman Anthony Medina announced in January that Moreno Gilson had been put on leave while an outside investigation was conducted around a personnel complaint. He did not disclose the nature of the complaint but clarified it did not relate to children.
Just over a year after taking the job and about two months after being put on administrative leave, Superintendent Oscar Moreno Gilson announced his plans to sue the Woodburn School District.
Moreno Gilson notified the Woodburn school board Tuesday of his plans to sue, alleging breach of contract, retaliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The board plans to send the superintendent a Notice of Action that Moreno Gilson s attorney said they discussed in an executive session. It is not yet known what action the board will take, though Moreno Gilson could be terminated.
Board chairman Anthony Medina declined to comment on the latest developments, saying the district has a practice of not commenting on litigation or personnel issues.
