I am the only Elected Offical on the ballot and with 2 elected terms, I have a proven record of Public Service and a heart of service above self. Serving on the school board is often a thankless job and its no pay but very rewarding. Same basic concepts so I have the experience in place.
I would like to re-open the conversation on education funding. Public schools are important and adequate funding is vital.
