Meet the Candidates

We'd like you to know what positions the candidates have held and also what drives our candidates to run for office, so we asked them three pointed questions.  Here are the questions and their answers are below:

  1. Why did you decide to run for office?

  2. What vision do you have for the District?

  3. What are your unique talents/skills that you are bringing to the team.
