Orange Ballot was created to provide voters with a clear alternative at the ballot box. For many years, the Red Apple Ballot has promoted candidates supported by teacher unions.
Starting in Frederick County, Maryland, Orange Ballot help voters easily identify conservative, parent-focused candidates for the Board of Education when they go to vote. By highlighting these candidates and educating voters, the Orange Ballot serves as an important counterbalance and a final line of visibility for parents and taxpayers who want a different direction for their schools.
Many voters today are concerned that property taxes continue to rise while academic performance declines, and they are looking for leaders who will prioritize accountability, transparency, and strong academic outcomes for students.
