Nicki Vander Meulen currently holds Seat 7 on the Madison Metropolitan School District’s Board of Education.

Vander Meulen is a juvenile attorney, has been a disability-rights advocate since a young age, and was elected to Seat 7 in 2017, becoming the first school board member who is openly on the autism spectrum — not just in Madison, but in the entire United States.

WORT producer Shaun Soman spoke with Vander Meulen about her candidacy in the coming April 7th election earlier today.
