If elected, what should voters expect you to accomplish during your term as school board member? In other words, if elected, what issues will be important to you?
"My family has been in Luverne for only a few years, but we very much enjoy the school system and used it as a deciding factor when moving here. I think, as a new person coming into the school board, there would be a learning period to achieve a level of understanding on the issues that are being faced. The current board members have done a fine job, and I, myself, would like to become involved in the future educational needs of my children. I think I can bring a new set of opinions to the board as well as a caring attitude. I know I have a lot to learn, and I am up for the challenge."
