LONDON (November 14, 1994) - FP secretary Robert Vaughan became Freedom Party's first executive member in public office when he was elected to the municipal position of Ward 4 public school board trustee in London. His second attempt to win the position was rewarded with such overwhelming support from voters in his ward that he was projected to become a clear winner only minutes after the polls closed.
Two trustees are elected for each ward in London, and final vote standings in Vaughan's ward were as follows: Bill Brock (incumbent): 4,643; Robert Vaughan: 4,084; Walter Rogers: 2,532; John Finan: 1,808.
Campaigning on the twin themes of quality education and affordable taxes, Vaughan's campaign advocated clear education standards and objective student evaluations, an emphasis on the basics including the teaching of phonics, and a call for standardized testing and grades.
In addition to being FP's provincial secretary, Vaughan is also the education chairman of the London-Middlesex Taxpayers' Coalition and was a participant in the school board's Quality Assurance Task Force.
Congratulations, Robert!
