I have learned so much during this school board campaign.  I am grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to meet so many people in our community and discuss their concerns and support for our schools.  I am grateful to live in a town of people who care about our schools, students and staff.

Thank you to the Los Alamos Federation of School Employees for their endorsement. It was an honor to meet with them and with many teachers and school staff throughout the district.  We are blessed to have such amazingly dedicated professionals working within our area.  

I’m grateful to the many people who supported me by working on my campaign and voting in this election.  Thank you also to my opponent, Melanie Colgan. The closeness of this election is a testament to her strong qualifications and dedication to this community.  

Lastly, thank you to my family who supported my campaign by giving me the time to canvass neighborhoods, attend meetings and learn about the needs in our community.  I look forward to working on the school board and serving Los Alamos.
