How did this guy get elected?

I was reading The Loudoun Connection this afternoon, and came across this guest editorial by the Loudoun County School Board member from the Broad Run District, Bob Ohneiser. It's practically unreadable. Here's an example:

If there is enough money to provide a wonderful education for all, then challenging the current paradigm is fruitless but given we have just seen supervisors deny to accept the school request for schools and to support the current budget request, perhaps it is time to look for deeper change than just trimming numbers.

Really, I don't have a problem with long sentences per se, but this reads more like a stream of consciousness than a sentence.

Now, check out this bulleted paragraph:

Third, the school system does not like to admit it subsidizes anything yet the law requires education of children of school age. A systemic change would be to outlaw subsidies such as adult education that doesn't even cover the cost of the teacher much less the multi-million dollar facility the program is housed by, gymnasium and auditorium usage for the cost of the extra person who has to stay there and monitor it is a giveaway and with a policy that forbids all but non-profits to use the schools the ability to generate needed funds for the schools is artificially limited. Non-county residents who use our schools don't even pay the average cost of such an education etc.

Punctuation, anyone? A little organization of thought?

There's more, but I won't beat this horse. My question, directed to the residents of Ashburn and the rest of the Broad Run District, is how did this guy manage to communicate to you during last year's campaign? I haven't heard him speak, so I don't know if he's coherent with the spoken word, but man, this guy certainly can't write!
