UPDATE 8.19.2024: It’s election season again and Alfie Oakes is hoping to put more conservatives on the Collier County School Board. He’s backing Pamela Cunningham in District 2. WGCU reports:
Ideological control of the Collier County public schools is at stake in a race for a seat on the board.
A conservative Republican, endorsed by businessman Alfie Oakes and the Collier party executive committee, is challenging a board member running for re-election.
It marks a change from some past school board races. Collier voter Elaine MacIntosh recalls a lot of boring races, lacking political conflict and drama. Not anymore.
“Let’s just get back to what really matters for our children, and quit getting the adult situation in the way,” MacIntosh said. “It’s crazy.”
Call it what you will, but adult political ideology is front and center in the race between school board member Stephanie Lucarelli and challenger Pamela Cunningham in District 2.
Cunningham says she wants to end what she calls progressive education.“The biggest leg up you can give students is a basic education,” Cunningham said. “We have to get back to putting pen and paper in their hands, learning cursive, learning their math tables even if they don’t want to. Learn civics and stand for the American flag.”

Naples, Florida experienced a “Seed to Table Sweep” last night, as all the candidates endorsed by Seed to Table owner Alfie Oakes’ PAC won their primary races. Oakes, as you have read here on Richardcyoung.com, is my favorite Florida farmer, and perhaps America’s number one patriot. In appearances with Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon, Oakes explained in great detail the troubles facing American farmers and their origins in Washington, D.C. The Naples Daily News talked to Oakes about his efforts at his victory party last night. Rachel Heimann Mercader reports:
Alfie Oakes, who owns Oakes Farm, was at his business, Seed to Table, Tuesday night for an election party with various candidates he endorsed. Those candidates included Kowal, school board candidates Tim Moshier, Kelly Lichter, Jerry Rutherford, and Collier judge candidate Chris Brown.
Oakes told the Naples Daily News that the election represents the “Seed to Table sweep,” referring to all candidates he and his PAC Citizens Awake Now endorsed, winning. Oakes was elected a Collier County Republican state committeeman in 2020, and is known for his strong conservative political views, often said at public forums and through social media.
Oakes participated in the “Save America March” in Washington, D.C., on the day of the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol and funded two busloads of local supporters to attend the pro-Trump rally.
He denied any involvement in the riot and blamed left-wing activists for the attack on the Capitol. He told the Naples Daily News after he returned from the rally that protesters were “supporting liberty and freedom,” describing his trip as “amazing.
“I think that says I picked American First candidates. What that says to me is that that is what the people of Collier County want,” Oakes told the Naples Daily News Tuesday night. “The mainstream media wants to say we’re the weirdos, we’re the right-wing wackos. That’s not the case.
“We’re the same as our Founding Fathers, we’re the same as the people of the 1950s, (it’s) the other people who have left the reservation.”
