- Scotty Boman for State Board of Education
by Greg Stempfle
Major Party status likely for Top of Ticket Candidate
Libertarian Scotty Boman has just announced his
candidacy for the State Board of Education, a move that
could easily guarantee the Libertarian Party major party
status in 2004.
Boman, a Grosse Pointe School teacher, is no stranger
to educational issues.
He has a Masters from Wayne State in teaching as well
as a Masters in Physics and is a former member of Wayne
State University’s Student Council.
In 1998 and 2000, Boman ran for a seat on the Wayne
State Board of Governors, each time earning 130,000 votes,
higher than all third party candidates for those years. The
major party threshold for political parties for the last
four elections has been just slightly over 150,000 votes.
In 1997, Boman became the second Libertarian to be
endorsed by the Detroit News, when he competed in the
Detroit City Council general election.
Boman’s campaign will focus on giving local school
districts more autonomy as well as decentralization of the
State educational system. With even a modest amount of
campaigning and media contact, not to mention a name similar
to the coach of the Detroit Red Wings, earning the necessary
150,000 for major party status is within reach.
For more information, contact campaign manager, Greg
Stempfle (stempfle@hotmail.com or 313-929-1789).
