NEW YORK, NY — In a powerful statement against extremism infiltrating school boards, Vote Mama PAC—the nation’s only political action committee solely dedicated to electing Democratic moms—has announced its endorsement of two determined Pennsylvania mothers running for school board seats: Danielle Chesek and Kasara Weinrich.
Both women are not just parents—they’re passionate advocates with boots-on-the-ground experience pushing for equity, inclusion, and excellence in public education. Chesek, seeking reelection to the Scranton Public Schools Board, has been a steadfast champion for expanding resources and closing achievement gaps. A veterinary technician by trade, her advocacy work focuses on bold reforms—not minor fixes—to ensure every student has a shot at success.
Weinrich, a mother of two, is mounting a challenge in the Lehighton Area School District. Known for her grassroots organizing and fierce dedication to equity, she’s running to reshape her district into a future-focused, well-funded education system that lifts up all students—not just the privileged.
“At a time when school boards are under attack by extremists trying to politicize our classrooms, moms like Danielle and Kasara are stepping up to refocus the conversation on students and solutions,” said Liuba Grechen Shirley, founder and CEO of Vote Mama. “They are compassionate, experienced leaders who understand what our schools and families truly need.”
Chesek expressed gratitude for the endorsement, calling it a validation of her mission to prioritize children’s needs in every decision. “As a parent, I bring a unique perspective to the board,” she said. “I will continue advocating for our students and community.”
Weinrich echoed the sentiment. “Balancing motherhood and public service means fighting not just for today’s students, but for future generations,” she said. “Together, we’re showing our kids that moms belong everywhere decisions are made.”
As culture wars heat up in school districts across America, these Pennsylvania moms aren’t backing down—they’re stepping up. And with Vote Mama behind them, they’re making it clear: classrooms should be about kids, not politics.
