Why should someone vote for you?  I have been blessed and honored to serve the students, families, employees, and stake holders of the Republic R-3 School District for the past nine years. Our school system is the “back bone” of the community and is bigger than any one board member, administrator, educator or employee. Throughout my tenure on the board, the focus has always been on all students and how as a district we can serve them in their quest for greatness. As a board member, I have been a strong voice and will continue to be for our students, employees, and public education. I want to thank GOD, my family, and community for trusting in me over the past nine years.
