Candidate for
Governing Board Member; Lucia Mar Unified School District; Trustee Area 2

I believe in supporting and serving our public schools. I have been very active in the school community for the last 6 years. My recent experience in our local schools and on the School Superintendent's Budget Advisory Committee has prepared me to make a difference in improving our school district.

I care: I put in the work to analyze the budget in detail.

I am not beholden to any one group; I will put the kids first in any decision that comes before me. I am a detailed, big-picture analyst of situations, do the research and analysis necessary to make good decisions and work well with others. I am not part of the establishment. I "have the courage to bring a range of ideas to the table". (The Tribune, 9-26-10)

I'm qualified: I am a lawyer, trained mediator, arbitrator, Judge Pro Tem, past president of two chambers of commerce and two Bar Associations, and have a strong knowledge of finances.

I am "forward-thinking and committed to delivering the best possible education for children". (The Tribune, 9-26-10) I am a proven leader. I ask for your vote.

Thank you!
