The Culver City Democratic Club will host a forum which “offers the community a chance to get to know the candidates for the Culver City Unified School District Governing Board,” on Sunday night at 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
The Zoom forum will be available to watch live at https://shorturl.at/Iob89, and a recording will be available later at c-c-d-c.com on on the CCDC’s Youtube channel and social media pages.
Five candidates are competing for two open seats. “Four of these candidates: Sameen Ahmadnia, Faithe Cleary, Kristen Cruise, and Andrew Lachman, were available for our forum,” the CDC said in a press release. “They will answer questions presented by journalist Hannah Bowlus of Westside Voice. Club members will vote on School Board endorsements following their Aug. 14 meeting; the results will be announced by the end of that week. Endorsements are chosen by a direct vote of the membership, with 60% required.”
Ahmadnia describes herself as an immigration attorney and parent. Meanwhile, Lachman has launched the lachmanforcusd.com website, and he says that: “Andrew has been a member of the Culver City Unified School District (CCUSD) Equity Advisory Board since 2022 and joined the Local Control and Accountability Plan(LCAP) PAC board and the Bond Oversight Committee and Culver City Education Foundation Board. He also chairs the Culver City Finance Advisory Committee providing input on bonds, taxes and budget issues. The committee has also held hearings on public safety and affordable housing. Andrew and his wife, Ingrid are members of the El Marino Elementary PTA and his wife Ingrid volunteers at Fall Festival and drop off.”
