Molly Lamar is a former elementary school teacher, mother of four children, and fourth-generation Colorado native who ran for the Colorado State Board of Education representing Congressional District 6 in 2022.
Lamar's campaign focused on returning Colorado schools to fundamental academics - reading, writing, and mathematics - while pushing back against what she viewed as inappropriate curriculum content, particularly comprehensive sex education in early grades. Her platform emphasized parental rights in education and curriculum transparency.
As both an educator and a parent, Lamar brought dual perspectives to education policy discussions. Her teaching experience gave her insight into classroom realities, while her role as a mother of four connected her to the concerns of parents throughout Congressional District 6.
Lamar appeared on the Kim Monson Show in September 2022 during her campaign to discuss her vision for Colorado education standards and her positions on curriculum issues.
