As homeowners and residents of Dover for the last 20 years, my husband Tom and I and our 12-year old daughter are proud to call Dover home.
I continue to be in love with Dover, not only because it has so much to offer, but because our community members are highly involved and engaged. We care deeply about our city and its residents, and that makes Dover a truly special place.
In addition to serving on the School Board, I am a member of the Dover High School Athletics Joint Building Committee and a volunteer for 68 Hours of Hunger, along with several other local organizations and events. I am passionate about both local and state politics and believe deeply in the importance of public service.
During my first two terms on the School Board, I gained a deep understanding of what Dover schools need to support students, learned the city budget process, and helped negotiate several union contracts. I embrace the idea that there is always something new to learn and values the diverse perspectives that come with community leadership.
Looking ahead, I pledge to continue advocating at both the state and local level for adequate school funding, remain a curious and engaged board member, hear all voices, and be willing to ask tough questions and make difficult decisions.
I hope I have earned the trust of my constituents over the last four years. It would be an honor to continue serving the community I love for another term.
