My name is Gary Sides and I am running for the Republican nomination for Union County Commissioner.
It has been my honor to serve on the Union County Board of Education since 2014. During that time, we have faced many difficult decisions, what I call the 5 Trials By Fire. Those include settling a stand lawsuit vs. the County, the retirement of the sitting superintendent and the selection of a new one, fixing a misguided student reassignment, managing the covid restrictions and last, but not least, addressing the CRT, EDI and putting a policy in place to address inappropriate books in school libraries among many others.
