We recorded our 3 minute run-off candidate statement tonight.  It was great to have the opportunity to talk about my priorities, perspectives and most importantly - what we are already doing to get it done!

The best part of my week was reading to a 5th grade class at my elementary school.  I wasn’t sure that they would be interested in fairy tales, but one student assured me saying “it will make us feel young again!” 

Check out this video that gives a taste of the world that these kids will enter in to. 

It is our responsibility to prepare them accordingly.
