JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A political ad made by the Duval County Democratic Party and posted on Twitter targets Duval County School Board candidate April Carney saying show a facebook post<\/a> in which he says he was “there” at the 2021 capitol uprising.<\/p>\n “It was important for us to be able to share that information with the voters and let them make a judgment call about whether or not he was the right person for this very important position,” Daniel Henry said.<\/p>\n He is the chairman of the Duval County Democratic Party and wants Carney to publicly address the Twitter post. <\/p>\n His campaign accuses Democrats of “lying” and “defaming,” calling the image “false.” Carney has not commented directly.<\/p>\n “Every teacher I’ve talked to is outraged that it’s come this far and they’re scared that he’s on the board,” DCPS teacher Chris Guerrieri said. <\/p>\n He runs the blog ‘Education Matters’ and wants a public debate on the controversy.<\/p>\n “Why he didn’t take the time to say yes or no is beyond me, but I think it also says a lot,” Guerrieri. <\/p>\n A spokesman for Carney says the demands for comment offer a bogus option because “it’s impossible to prove a lie.”<\/p>\n Carney, who has the support of Gov. Ron DeSantis, is challenging incumbent school board member Elizabeth Andersen. The primary election is August 23.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 Rumors have circulated that the Radical School Board candidate, April Carney, was there #6degenerInsurrection<\/a>.
