I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Canadian ISD Board of Trustees. I have long been an advocate for education and Canadian’s reputation for its academic excellence was a major reason for my decision to locate here in 2011. I personally have experience with education at a variety of levels and know the value of having a strong foundation in the K-12 level.

Candidate filing ended this week for those seeking a place on the ballot in the local May 4 elections.

Altogether, nine elected positions were up for grabs in the spring election, including three city council seats, two seats on the hospital board, two on the school board, and two on the water board.
