This race hasn't had the highest profile but it seems Mark Lisagor has run a very energetic and effective campaign against an incumbent. Do you think it has been enough to put Mark Lisagor into office?
The consultant for the campaign is Marc O'Hara. This will be a test case to see how effective Lisagor is in Ventura County. If O'Hara helps win this race for Lisagor he will be the hero of many of the rapid Anti-Tony Strickland activists in Ventura County.
I want Mark Lisagor to win so that he can bring nonpartisan and common sense governance to a board that has been mired in controversy after controversy since about the time I started this blog. Scandals including trying to get a federal earmark to build a facility in Indiana for Ventura County youth to announcing they were looking for a conservative Christian to join the board, to a for profit charter school being approved, to trying to get creationism taught in the very few schools they directly control and much much more. Lisagor will help end the games.
Dear Campaign Supporters,
It's been an amazing 100 days and we are at last putting the finishing touches on a campaign which has involved nearly 500 supporters like you!
You've written checks, signed endorsement forms, mailed letters to friends, sent emails, written letters to the editor, helped with keeping
track of all the finances (thanks to treasurer Ken Szymanski), assisted with thank you notes, delivered and placed yard signs, put up big signs on the highways, hosted meet and greets, built a website, created mailing pieces, served as sounding boards for getting out the right message, published on blogs and been constant sources of encouragement!
On top of all that, many of you have put in countless hours walking the neighborhoods of Camarillo, Ojai, Fillmore, Santa Paula and a little bit of Oxnard, delivering our message to nearly 22,000 households!
Campaign Chair David Maron has been an invaluable guide and collaborator throughout the process, along with professional consultant Marc O'hara.
If you live in Camarillo or Somis and subscribe to Time Warner Cable, you can watch our 30 second spot on 13 different channels.....our final volley! (thank you, Adam!)

So there's still one more thing to do: We need to get out the vote! Please remind all the people you've already told about my candidacy that they need to remember to vote for me! You can do this while you are phone banking and emailing for whatever other candidates and issues you are passionately supporting, as we go down to the wire.
Then, on Tuesday night we can take the time to acknowledge a job well done as we watch the returns coming in. Please drop by our home at 477 Calle Higuera for a cold drink and a visit.
The door will be open from 7 'til around 11, when we'll likely adjourn to the elections office at the government center in Ventura.
The support, encouragement, and offers of help from friends have been overwhelming. Thank you so much for being a part of this important effort!
In friendship, Mark
Brian, I couldn't agree with you more. I want Mark Lisagor to win for all the reasons you cited and then some. The current majority on the Ventura County Board of Education is a joke. Both Dr. Mark Lisagor and Dr. Ramon Flores will bring some much needed professionalism to the board and maybe the county can move ahead a little bit.
Vote for Drs. Mark Lisagor and Ramon Flores!!
