Do The Right Thing
Angela Dubach is a dedicated wife, aunt, mentor, coach, and proud “Godmother of three,” whose life has been shaped by a deep family legacy in education. With parents who were both teachers, her father even serving as her fifth-grade teacher and basketball coach, and a grandmother who served on the local school board, Angela’s passion for education and community engagement runs generations deep. Angela shares her journey from nervously speaking at her first school board meeting to becoming a powerful advocate for parental rights in education. She recounts the emotional moment of standing at the Florida Capitol during the passage of HB 1557 (the Parental Rights in Education Bill) and reflects on the grassroots work that helped elect two school board members in 2022. From tireless door-knocking to organizing community forums, Angela offers insights into what it truly takes to win local elections. We also explore her proudest moments, including being nominated for the Abigail Adams Award, a recognition that affirmed her efforts were making a real impact. Angela opens up about the challenges and growth that come with leadership, the importance of building structure within a chapter, and the personal motivation that drives her advocacy: honoring her late parents by fighting for the kind of schools they would have been proud to support. This episode is a testament to courage, community, and doing the right thing—even when it’s hard.
