Where they stand

There is a donor-based score from their 2016 campaign for school board, but it rests on only 10 donors, too few to place Gina Verdibello reliably (we need at least 20).

This is a nonpartisan race, so we don't estimate where candidates fall from their campaign materials or look up their personal voter registration. We'd place Gina Verdibello only with a published academic score (from a voting record or campaign donors), and we haven't found one we can reliably source.

We haven't found a campaign site or candidate questionnaire for Gina Verdibello yet. What they say they'll focus on is listed above.
