LAKEWOOD – Increasingly pointed exchanges between two Jefferson County school board candidates ended Thursday with one asking the other to “stop spreading lies” during their closing statements.
Tension between candidates Lesley Dahlkemper and Jim Powers, who are seeking the District 4 seat representing central Jeffco, was clear early in the debate at a Lakewood church. In her response to a question about vouchers, Dahlkemper said she did not support them and that her opponent’s position keeps changing.
