Denton library board nominee faces pushback, but conservative former teacher says she’s no book banner

On Sunday, two social media posts warned Denton residents about the latest nominee for the Denton Library Board.

Both posts, one on X and the other on a local Facebook group, focused on Ellen Quinn Sullivan’s son, conservative activist Michael Quinn Sullivan, and on Mayor Gerard Hudspeth more than on the nominee herself. Both posts also mentioned Hudspeth’s recent library board nominee — Debi Scaggs, who has played a key role in the local effort to challenge books in Denton ISD libraries.
