Funding
Dzwonar did not file a campaign finance report with the Marion County Board of Elections as of October 25, 2016.[4]
School board candidates in Indiana who received more than $500 in contributions or made more than $500 in expenditures had to have a principal committee. This committee was designated by a candidate to accept contributions and make expenditures to promote him or her for the election. Each committee was required to have a chairperson and a treasurer, and no contribution or expenditure could be accepted or made on behalf of the candidate's committee without the authorization of the chairperson or treasurer.
Once the $500 threshold was reached, the candidate had to also file a Statement of Organization form no later than at noon, 10 days after the candidate exceeded the limit. The requirement to form a principal committee and file a statement was lifted for candidates who did not meet the $500 threshold requirement. The pre-election report was due October 21, 2016, and the annual report was due January 18, 2017.[5]
Endorsements
Dzwonar was endorsed by the Washington Township Parent Council Network.[6]
Campaign themes
Dzwonar answered the question posed by the district "Why are you running for the Washington Township School Board?" as follows:
| “ | I have chosen to run for a third term on the Board for two primary reasons: First, I want to continue to support the current positive direction of our schools and maintain the reputation we have of providing a high quality education to all of our students. Second, with two vital referenda on the ballot this November, I want to do all that I can to help ensure that they receive a majority of “yes” votes. I hope that, having served prior to and through the planning phase for these referenda, I can bring background and history to the campaigns this November that will help ensure their passage.
I am very optimistic and supportive of the current state of public education in Washington Township. While we certainly have our challenges and areas in need of improvement, I feel that MSDWT has taken a number of positive steps to help continue our fifty-plus year legacy of quality education. I have a deep and abiding passion to see our students and schools succeed so that our community remains strong and a place where people want to make their homes. I believe strongly in our system of representative, self-government and the fact that it only works if we participate. Finally, I would note the importance of understanding that: 1) I am one of five board members and so need to hear and be heard by the other members as we make decisions; 2) A board’s job is to provide broad oversight and policy; 3) I have been elected to serve our community and so should remain open to hearing from MSDWT residents, staff and students as I consider matters before the board.[7] |
