So it’s been kind of a long 8-10 weeks since I decided to run for this open board position, and there’s been a lot of work put in by countless people to promote this candidacy…for which I am, whatever the outcome, quite grateful for…but my favorite image, because it is quite telling…is this one:

And the number one reason is that it represents the ENDORSEMENT of the two organizations that represent more than 94% of the employees in the Romoland School District. Other candidates might say they have support, but no other candidate can claim ENDORSEMENT. These are people that interact, influence, motivate, find library books for, wipe the blood and sweat from, and just generally love your children on a daily basis. Not just one child or grandchild…YOUR child. I will be a voice for their concerns, and a voice for YOUR concerns. That has been my sole commitment during this campaign. To be your voice. Not only a voice for concerns, but a voice in the board room for all of the good things that are happening in our district, and trust me, there are many. I hear about them daily. It’s not ‘all about the kids’…it’s about “ALL of the kids.”

So maybe balloons might not make it so, but the vote of ALL the people, instead of the appointment of a just a few, will.
