Thanks to everyone who voted yesterday, and to all of you who helped me with my campaign over the last six months. I’m pleased to have won a second term on the East Penn School District board! Congratulations to Alan Earnshaw, Alisa Bowman, and Adam Smith, who also won seats on the board. Let’s do […]

Many thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this happen, from distributing signs to […]
Friends for the Protection of Lower Macungie Township, an active group that promotes smart growth in the community, recently sent a number of questions to those running for the East Penn School Board for the first time.

Would you please volunteer at the polls next Tuesday? The political parties will have lots of people handing out information about their school board candidates. I have to find my own volunteers! Please consider donating some time to help our public schools. You can sign up for just an hour, or throughout the whole […]

People in the community who vote based on issues and candidates rather than political party, and who– as a result– are uncomfortable registering officially as a Democrat or Republican. In fact, I was one of those people until just a couple of years ago. But then I […]
I am running again for school board because of my commitment to public education. Over 90% of all American children attend public schools, without which they would not have the knowledge and skills necessary to support and participate in the democratic process. Our public schools are also the foundation of the middle class, giving students […]
I don’t want to ask for money. It is, in fact, the part of running for school board that I most dislike. But I need to do it. Would you please make a donation to help my campaign? I will use it to pay for yard signs, print small cards to give to people as […]
Dear Neighbor, I am running for a second term on the East Penn School Board. Over the course of the last three years, I have heard from or sat down with hundreds of you to share hopes and concerns about our school district and our community. These conversations have taught me valuable lessons about how […]
