Well, it has been a little over two weeks since I registered to run in the November General Election for Dekalb County District 1 School Board. It has been an exciting time and everyday I am actively meeting new people in my district and learning about their concerns for our schools.
The campaign started with a bang when I was able to participate in the Dunwoody 4th of July parade. While other candidates were seated on the back of very expensive convertibles I chose an alternative method of transportation - my bicycle! I hope my message was conveyed to the public that not only am I concerned about our environment, but I believe that in order to solve the problems of our school system one must be very selective in their own personal expenses. I will be running a campaign that is deliberately frugal.
On Thursday of that same week, I participated in a forum sponsored by the City of Doraville.
It was my first opportunity to speak to the public and meet my opponent and the imcumbent. Both are very intelligent, but they do not possess the one thing that makes me feel uniquely qualified for this position. I am a creative thinker, who is able to solve problems by looking at the facts and thinking outside the box.
Last week I answered questions galore about my beliefs and intentions. I will be posting those questions and answers on this blog so that you may get to know me better.
