American Fork readers, for the past ten years, whenever there was a local election, you’ve flocked to afelection.info for information about candidates and issues, and for analysis and opinion.
You got none of that here for today’s Aspen Peaks School Board primary election, and I apologize. There have been some technical issues for a while now, including today, as I’ve tried to create and post this brief note. Even without those, the way this summer has gone, I knew virtually nothing about any of the candidates until last evening, the eve of the election.
If you wonder, why Substack? I explain it here: AFelection.info has moved to Substack.
And I did write some thoughts there about the school board candidates: My Too Little, Too Late Notes on the 2025 Aspen Peaks School Board Primary (Seats 6 and 7). At least it’s a head start on discussing the general election.
There are two ways to access the new American Fork Election Info Substack:
