We previously said Rodas and Gillespie appeared on Meet the Press. They appeared on Face the Nation. This version has been updated to reflect that fact. We apologize for the error.

Belen Rodas, newly elected member of the Spotsylvania School Board, and April Gillespie, one of the two Tea Party members who will remain on the board, appeared on Face the Nation this morning.

Rodas said on the show that “I started to see the effects of some of the chaos on the School Board in the classrooms…. From there it just seemed to continue spiraling into other distracting culture war issues.”

Gillespie said that the message voters sent on Tuesday was that they “want us to work together.”

“They want us to move forward and focus on the business of the division and not so much the politics of things.”
