Breaking Bad actor running for school board

The Journal reports, link; Steven Michael Quezada ... has filed to run for the Albuquerque school board.

I don't watch Breaking Bad, and I don't know Quezada from Adam's off ox, but the apparently popular actor has the potential to bring some wide spread attention to the school board race.  People will show up to debates to see the actor rather than the candidate, but showing up for any reason is better than not showing up at all.  Perhaps voter turnout will climb above 3.5%.

As the parent of three charter school students, Quezada's election would put a damper on the anti-charter school sentiment the permeates the current leadership.

Board members Paula Maes and David Robbins are running against each other and four other people.  There is the potential for one of them to get re-elected by as few as six tenths of one percent of registered voters.

Board member Lorenzo Garcia faces three challengers, David Peercy faces two.

There is a real chance to elect a majority of new board members;
a real chance to change directions, set new standards, and instill
real accountability.

Now, if only we could engage the press at any but the most superficial level.
