Previous elected post: none

Why are you running? I felt like it was a civic responsibility.

More people need to get involved that aren't inside the inner circle

of the school systems. Concerned citizens would be less likely to

take everyone's word for things and more likely to look into

things.

What can you contribute? I work with budgets, program

management, cost analysis. I can read a budget. I know how red tape

is.

Children in school? None.
