“Yes, I Am a Q Follower”: Bucks County School Board Candidate Cora Landis Embraces Extremism and Conspiracy Theories
Cora Landis, a Republican-backed Palisades School District candidate and activist with the Keeping Kids in School PAC, has openly identified herself as a QAnon follower and repeatedly promoted extremist conspiracy theories — the same ideology that helped fuel the January 6 attack on the Capitol. In her own posts, Landis proudly declared “Yes, I am a Q follower,” while pushing content tied to far-right movements and misinformation networks targeting school boards across Bucks County.
Landis isn’t an outlier — she’s become the prototype for a new wave of Republican school board candidates whose politics are rooted not in education, but in online radicalization and culture-war conspiracy movements. At a time when school boards need steady leadership, she represents the opposite: someone steeped in QAnon rhetoric, disinformation, and fringe ideology that has no place in public education.
Her candidacy also mirrors a broader pattern in Bucks County GOP politics, where dark-money backed PACs and far-right groups like Moms for Liberty have been trying to capture school boards and inject extremism into local governance. Landis’ own record fits squarely into that playbook — an agenda driven not by students or schools, but by conspiratorial beliefs and political grievance.
Her own words speak for themselves: she aligns with QAnon, echoes its narratives, and promotes the far-right ecosystem surrounding it. That alone makes her fundamentally unqualified for public office, let alone for a position responsible for the safety and education of children.
