TEAM's website has no education or school board policy section, so the only school board position recorded for the party comes from its answer to The Tyee. No interview, speech, forum appearance or earlier election run by Nystedt was found, and no independent source confirms the college studies or the union membership. TEAM says it will appear at community events during the campaign but publishes no dated event list, so no event is recorded here. Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on September 22, 2026: Current campaign material; biographical claims require corroboration. Campaign page read on September 22, 2026. 2 stated positions and 2 background facts recorded here, each checked against a quotation from that page. Checks still to do: Obtain specific proposals and confirm relevant community experience without inferring expertise from parenthood alone.
