Thank You

Thank you for your vote and support. The election was certified and I was re-elected to a third term on the Hillsborough Board of Education. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to continue serving our town. I will continue to work in the best interests of Hillsborough and Millstone's students.

Please Vote!

Tuesday is Election Day!

Election Day is tomorrow, Tuesday November 8, 2022. Polls are open from 6AM to 8PM.

 
What is important to you about voting?

Please make a plan to vote:

- when do you plan to vote?
- what might be an obstacle voting at that time?
- how will you address that obstacle?
- how will you be intentional about Tuesday's vote?

Thank you for voting for me!

Certified Board Leader

Certified Board Leader is the highest level of individual certification for NJ school board members. I am proud that I achieved this in my 5th year on the board*.

*Noted: because of length of service requirements for each certification level, I believe the 5th year of board service is the earliest one can achieve this certification.

NJSBA leadership training

In April 2018, I attended NJSBA leadership training for school board members, including sessions on building your board team, keeping your board focused on student achievement, committee effectiveness and more. I continue to invest in my professional development to improve as a school board member through attending the annual school board workshop; last year and this year, I presented to my fellow board members.

Getting to know your BOE candidates

I thought I was original in saying people get the government they deserve. Then I googled and found some famous people quotes (although I never heard of Joseph de Maistre before.)

"The government you elect is the government you deserve." Thomas Jefferson*

"Every nation gets the government it deserves." Joseph de Maistre

I think what this means is each citizen has the responsibility to research the candidates for themselves, and make a proactive decision on which candidate(s) would serve in the best interest of the community.

What do lawn signs tell you? Name and position sought, that's it. What do organizational endorsements tell you? Maybe that the organization believes the candidate will be favorable to their position. I chose to not participate in either.

I encourage voters to do their due diligence - google the candidates and see what information they have shared about their campaigns. Reach out. Ask questions.

I do my homework, ask the hard questions and always strive to do the right thing by our students, staff and our district. I ask Hillsborough and Millstone residents for their vote on/before Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Thank you.
