Only 1 Minnesota Parents Alliance school board candidate won on Election Day

(FOX 9) - Only one of 11 candidates endorsed by the conservative-leaning Minnesota Parents Alliance for school board seats was able to win on Election Day, despite heavy spending in some races.

What we know: Only 21 of 331 school districts held elections this year. Of those races, the Minnesota Parents Alliance backed 11 candidates, including three in the Anoka-Hennepin School District.

Only Matt Audette, who already serves on the Anoka-Hennepin school board, was able to win a race.

Big picture view: Some critics raised concerns about the amount of money being funneled into school board races by organizations like the Minnesota Parents Alliance. One group, Excellence Minnesota, which shares an address with the Minnesota Parents Alliance, spent more than $100,000 in the Anoka-Hennepin Race.
