I moved to Shasta County in 2021, in 2022 I asked my housemate who a good source would be for political advice regarding elections.
She pointed me in Authur’s direction! He was so kind to speak to me, and help me cast my vote with candidates who were politically aligned with my values. I’ve been a registered Republican since I was 18 years old, and I’ve never missed a vote in my county or country. Voting is very important to me, don't take it lightly. And neither does Authur Gorman.
Since then, I have connected with Authur via social media and in person. I find him to be a standup citizen, and honest human being, and all around a genuinely good person.
His wife Katie is amazing. I love cheering them on as they push forward, advancing the kingdom of God in our region, standing up for our children, staying involved with the community, and representing the true heart of Shasta County.
Recently, I was able to work one on one with Arthur and Katie, and I was impressed with the quality of character, their generosity, and their good nature. Putting others before themselves, blessing the ones around them, and all the while making it looks so effortless.
I’m very proud and honored to endorse Authur Gorman. We need more men like him to stand up in our community. And it's comforting to know, that people like Authur who are true patriots, still exist and won't quit for America, for the America that was originally founded.

As we have gotten to know Authur over the last few years, we have learned a couple things about him:
1. His generosity. Authur is always willing to help a friend, work a fundraiser, or just spend time sharing his extensive knowledge of many things. But more importantly:
2. His primary concern is for the well being of the kids. He cares deeply for all of them and fights against the indoctrination we see in schools and media.
A vote for Authur is a vote for a return to traditional education without the influence of alternative lifestyles, ideologies, political views, and anything else that has no place in public education. We are proud to support Authur in his efforts to be elected to the school board.

Authur Gorman is someone who saw challenges in his community and chose to step up rather than sit on the sidelines. Inspired by a desire to make a difference for local families, students, and future generations, he has dedicated himself to serving with integrity, courage, and conviction. Authur is a strong advocate for parental rights, local control, and educational excellence, always putting the needs of the community first. I am proud to endorse Authur Gorman for Shasta County Board of Education, Area 2.

I am supporting Authur Gorman for the candidate of School Board based on his consistently standing for common sense education.
Maybe we can bring California children up to a higher ranking in our failed woke education system in California.

Since I began to engage civically, I've met a LOT of people that show up for attention or clout, and I've met people who want to make a difference. Authur hands down is here to make a difference. I've seen Authur in action, lobbying people, sticking his neck out, and humbly accepting input to get a parental rights resolution that was rejected by a board, called back up on the agenda and then passed with zero opposition. In less than 48 hours he turned a no into a yes with a smile on his face as he did it. I truly believe it was because of how much he cares about people, about kids, and the manner in which he carries himself. That dedication and drive are great resources for the Board of Education. So much so that he's caught the attention of Sacramento. Keep up the great work!

Endorsement of Arthur Gorman
FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE SHASTA COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
To the voters of Shasta County,
I am proud to endorse Arthur Gorman for re-election to the Shasta County Board of Education.
I believe in Arthur. He is a man of honor and integrity, and someone I deeply admire.
This endorsement is personal to me. I attended high school in Shasta County, and I understand the legacy of that community — the values, the families, the work ethic, and the responsibility we have to
the next generation. I know Arthur Gorman will honor that legacy and carry it forward.
As a financial investigator and candidate for Congress, I do not give endorsements lightly.
My support is not based on political convenience. It is based on character, trust, and whether I believe
someone will do the right thing when it matters.
Arthur has earned that trust.
Shasta County families deserve leaders who respect parents, protect local control, and keep the focus where it belongs: on students, education, accountability, and the future of the community.
At a time when public trust in elected officials is too often broken, Arthur stands out as someone steady, principled, and committed to serving with integrity.
I respectfully ask Shasta County voters to join me in supporting Arthur Gorman for re-election to
the Shasta County Board of Education.
Respectfully,
Christine Bish

I am supporting Authur Gorman because, among other things, he is an unashamed fighter and advoate for parental rights and protecting fairness in girls' sports. In a time when many others coward away from standing on their principles and convictions, Authur isn't afraid to speak the truth. Authur has my full support.

I am endorsing Authur Gorman for the County Board of Education. I have served on two forums with Authur and have gotten to know him well. The first was the public forum hosted by Medical Providers in Shasta County to discuss Covid-19, variants and treatments. The second was a group formed to train medical professionals about “touch consciousness”. On both forums I found Authur to be intelligent, personable and hard working. The biggest reason I am endorsing Authur Gorman is that he is willing to work tirelessly for the good of Shasta County. He has conservative values and speaks about them with passion and clarity.

“I am proud to endorse Authur Gorman for re-election to the Shasta County Board of Education. As a longtime fighter for parental rights and education reform and a general election candidate for State Superintendent, I recognize a true champion when I see one. Authur left the sidelines during COVID to oppose harmful mandates when too many boards complied, consistently defended free speech and parental authority against compelled gender ideology, pushed to replace flawed policies like 5145.3 with equal-treatment language that has withstood legal challenges, and delivered results. Shasta County needs more leaders like Authur who put the education of our children first and do not give quarter to indoctrination efforts. We need leaders like Authur who will uphold conservative values of faith, family, and freedom.”
