Sarah Ingles Certified by Franklin County Board of Elections
COLUMBUS — Yesterday, February 13, 2023, the Franklin County Board of Elections confirmed that Sarah Ingles, lifelong Central Ohio resident and public education advocate, will be on the ballot this fall to serve on the Columbus City School Board.
“We collected over 1,200 signatures and turned in just under 900. We needed 300 valid signatures to certify for the ballot. The outpour of support we’ve received since we announced this campaign just one month ago has been overwhelming and the energy has been contagious,” Ingles said.
Sarah is a union attorney who also represents low-wage and immigrant workers. For the last four years, she has served as the Board President of the Central Ohio Worker Center, and has served on a committee with the Ethiopian Tewahedo Social Services. She is fluent in English and Spanish.
Sarah also volunteers for voter protection and voter registration efforts, and taught at Fort Hayes High School as part of the Marshall-Brennan fellowship. She has worked on healthcare advocacy and fundraising initiatives with the American Cancer Society, civil liberties issues with the ACLU of Ohio, and has been an outspoken advocate for workers throughout Central Ohio.
“I’ve been fighting against book bans since I was a teenager, and I look forward to bringing that same tenacity and dedication to public education to the Columbus City School Board," Ingles continued.
Sarah is committed to ensuring that the Columbus City School District increases enrollment, increases graduation rates, and creates learning, extra-curricular, and career opportunities for all students who live within and attend the district.
“Where you live in our district should not dictate your experience. Our school board must govern in a way that is equitable and just,” Ingles concluded.
