JoCo MAGA candidates are posing as “moderates” in campaign commercials, mailers, and texts. But behind your back, they’re plotting against - and voting against - the schools your kids attend.
In a leaked video posted Nov. 2 on X, BV-area Rep. Chris Croft plots with Johnson County Republican Party Chair Maria Holiday to unseat duly-elected school boards across the county!

This is a wake-up call for every JoCo voter. It’s what the MAGA candidates on your ballot are working to achieve behind closed doors:
Croft: “When are we gonna step over local control?...I also found out we can dissolve the school board. You can do it by petition. And I owe you guys (SUBV note: the Johnson County GOP) the specifics on how to get that done. And I will be doing that, because I am SO stinkin’ excited about the possibility there.”
JoCo GOP Chair Holiday: “I feel like you should insert an evil laugh!”
Croft, laughing: “I like that.”
Holiday, mimicking an evil laugh: “Mwahaha”
Could Croft, his fellow MAGA legislators, and the JoCo GOP actually unseat our school boards in Johnson County? YES. The process is complicated and would involve gathering thousands of signatures, within a limited time-frame, to force a district-wide vote on dissolving a board.
But even if dissolving a school board failed, the attempt itself would create chaos. It would generate widespread negative news coverage, harm Johnson County’s national reputation for having outstanding school districts, discourage businesses and start-ups from locating to the area, and adversely affect property values. It could also impede student learning as a result of the upheaval.
Do Croft and his MAGA cronies have the means to organize canvassing for collecting thousands of signatures? YES.
In 2023, Croft used his official legislative office to conspire with the local chapter of Moms For Liberty to organize campaign canvassing for the four Blue Valley School Board candidates backed by MFL. These were the same BV BOE candidates who were endorsed by The 1776 Project PAC which, like Moms For Liberty, advocates AGAINST public schools and supports the privatization of public education for profit. (JoCo Republican Party Chair Maria Holiday is listed as a member of the local Moms For Liberty chapter.)
Chris Croft has already partnered with Moms For Liberty to organize canvassing, and he could do it again. If re-elected, could Croft continue to use his legislative office to organize canvassing efforts to collect enough signatures to force a vote on dissolving the Blue Valley School Board?
Croft would not only have his legislative staff and over 900 local Moms For Liberty members at his disposal. Americans For Prosperity has been actively canvassing for MAGA legislative candidates during this election cycle, and posting about it on social media. Could Americans For Prosperity assist Croft and Moms For Liberty in collecting thousands of signatures on a petition?
When elected officials or candidates show you who they are, or say what they intend to do while in office, BELIEVE THEM.
Take this post as YOUR sign to get out the vote for Croft’s opponent, longtime community leader Pam Shernuk. We need ALL our members to contact their District 8 friends and family to ask them to vote for Shernuk on or before Election Day, Tues. Nov 5. See District 8 map here, scroll down: https://www.pam4kansas.com/
Contact your friends and neighbors who may not have voted yet, wherever they live across Blue Valley or Johnson County. For the good of our kids, we need to put political parties aside and soundly reject the MAGA agenda on Election Day.
