You Did It! Congratulations!
The Ad Hoc Committee for KPFK Community Radio welcomes all of the KPFK Local Station Board election candidates to KPFK governance, “winners” and “losers” alike, since they’ve all proved their dedication and commitment to our station through a grueling election cycle.
Most especially, we look forward to seeing our candidates, Rodrigo Argueta, Ian Johnston, Fred Klunder, Dutch Merrick, and John Parker, leading the LSB to fulfill its commitment to our listeners and staff.
We extend our deepest thanks to all the voters who looked beyond expensive mailers and the status quo to seek out the candidates committed to the Pacifica Mission, local decision-making, transparency and responsibility, diversity, Spanish-language programs, and listener accountability. Our voters rock!
We also thank our Local Election Supervisor, Michael Sanchez. Michael had a lot of baggage to carry from past elections. Not only did he handle did the pressure with aplomb, he also set a new standard for what our elections should be.
We hope to see all of the candidates at our LSB meetings. They offered some great ideas for the station throughout the past three months, and we look forward to seeing those ideas come to pass. They’ve all picked up a lot of important information about how governance happens here at K and when they put that with their ideas, we’ll have a dynamic and truly progressive station with everybody’s help. There’s plenty of work to go around in the station, on committees, and at LSB meetings. See you in January!
