  • Why I'm running:
  I left my job at the Georgia-Pacific (now Bakelite) Resin plant in Millersburg, just weeks before 09/11/2001, to be the primary caregiver for our newborn twins and their older brother. Staying at home, I learned to learn with my kids, to partner with their teachers and make going to school something to look forward to, something to be responsible for, and something to remember. We still sing the songs they learned in winter concerts, and we attend the Lacomb School alumni (aka Old Timers) potluck in July. In 2009, with interim-Superintendent Col. (Ret.) Lanning’s help, the Oregon National Guard leveled the school playing field as the focus of their two-week summer training. It was a great project — hosting Oregon heroes, leaving a lasting impact and we inaugurated with an AYSO Soccer fest.
  Oregon school districts are confronting cuts in the 2023 General Budget, coupled with cost of living and health care cost increases. Lebanon Community School District has to reckon with deferred maintenance from two failed bond measures. Lacomb School’s leaking roof does little to encourage kids to look forward to going to school. Their parents are right to be furious.
  I’m running for the LCSD Zone 1 Board position to provide the leadership needed to navigate the choppy waters ahead, be steadfast and get the job done.
  It’s time to level the playing field, again, fix the leaky roof, and make going to school something great again.​
