Madison School Board incumbent challenge has both candidates looking for ballot box success
/When voters choose between Madison School Board member Nicki Vander Meulen and Wayne Strong next month, it will be the incumbent’s first competitive general election match-up and the challenger’s third attempt at winning one.
Vander Meulen, a defense attorney for juveniles and adults, said she wants to continue being a voice for students with disabilities, particularly minority students with disabilities, while Strong, a program associate for the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, said the issues that compelled him to seek a board seat twice before persist, such as the racial achievement gap.
