BACKING OUT
Portland School Board Candidate Tied to Christian Nationalists Withdraws
Rolling Stone uncovered Derrick Peterson's controversial connections earlier this week
DERRICK PETERSON — a top candidate for the Portland school board whose ties to prominent Christian nationalists Rolling Stone uncovered this week, is withdrawing his candidacy.
In a statement to supporters Wednesday afternoon, Peterson wrote, “Over the past week my affiliations with various churches have been presented in the media. This has taken a toll on my family and takes away from the critical work that needs to be done at [Portland Public School] PPS. I respect our youth too much to allow this distraction to continue. As such, I am withdrawing from the race.”
