What is The Hate Slate?

"The Hate Slate" is our name for the group of school board candidates who call themselves the "Conservative Slate." What unites them is an agenda directed against LGBTQIA+ students, teachers, and community members.

For the past two years, members of this group have appeared at Livermore school board meetings, quoting scripture and making statements that target LGBTQIA+ people in our schools. They have been encouraged and enabled by Trustee Deena Kaplanis.

LAPE condemns these candidates and their agenda. We encourage you to look at the record and judge for yourself. Read what they have said in their own words and share it with your neighbors.

In their own words: The Tri-Valley Republicans website describes the candidates of the respective slates: Tri-Valley Republicans, 2026 Primary
