On September  9, 2011, I filed as a candidate for the Washington County Board of Education. No last minute filing for me! My decision to run was not based on who else was or was not  a candidate.  I decided to run because I am passionate about learning and public education, and I have a sincere desire to put my knowledge, time, skills, and talents to use serving the county that has been my home since birth.

Five individuals have filed for four seats so there was no Primary for the BOE candidates. The General Election is Tuesday, November 6, 2012. I ask for your vote on election day and your support throughout my campaign.

With thirty-five years of dedicated service to Washington County’s students and their families behind me, I pledge to use my experience, knowledge, skills, and passion to work on behalf of all children of Washington County.  If I am elected to the Washington County School Board, you can be sure that I will be diligent in working to ensure that our children have the best educational opportunities to prepare them for their futures.

I look forward to opportunities to meet you in person. Until then, I'll use these pages to introduce myself and share why I think I'm worthy of your confidence and your vote.

If you have any questions, please use the contact information found on these pages. Let me know of the good things that are happening in our schools, issues or shortcomings that you think need to be addressed, and/or any concerns that you have about the current state of WCPS.

Sincerely,
