Jason for MBUSD
10 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 5 ratingsHi, I'm Jason Boxer. I'm running for one of the two open seats in the Manhattan Unified School District here in California. The purpose of this podcast is to not only to let the community get to know me, and what's happening in the district, but it is also our unique approach to campaigning in the time of coronavirus. School board campaigns are usually won at public gatherings, community talks, and in the backyards of our residents. Unfortunately, that element is being taken away. This podcast will allow voters to access information at their leisure, and gives people an opportunity to hear me speak in fluid conversations, not just prepared statements. Thank you so much for checking it out! Paid for by Jason Boxer for Manhattan Beach Unified School District Governing Board 2020 (FPPC ID Number Pending
