January 6 Insurrectionist Loses Bid For School Board Seat

The St. Joseph School Board lost a real opportunity when voters did not see fit to elect an insurrectionist to give that all-important perspective of someone willing to attack the U.S. Capitol.

Kimberly Dragoo, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, lost her race Tuesday for a seat on the St. Joseph Board of Education in Missouri.

Dragoo participated in the riot with her husband, Steven, who photographed the couple throughout the day, including when she went through a broken window into the Capitol, according to court documents. She was one of 10 candidates running for three open seats for a board that oversees 10,000 students and 1,500 staff members, per the district’s website. She came in eighth out of 10 candidates.

There were a few eyebrows raised when Kimberly Dragoo put her name forward last December, what with participating in an attack on the U.S. Government and all, but since she and her husband were only charged with misdemeanors it was judged all hunky dory.

Recent filings for the St. Joseph School District Board of Education have raised some questions in the community about candidate eligibility.
