The Campaign is on!
I wasn't aware (until Thomas kindly pointed out), that there are plenty of people concerned with the May 2009 school board race already. I am so excited to interact with these people! I love the enthusiasm I read in blogs and comments.
It is inspiring me to believe even stronger that we can make a difference.
May 2009 is far away, but I feel like the campaign has essentially started.
More things will be posted on my website (http://www.lisarichardson.org/) about me and my ideas for school board.
I ask that you be patient with me. What I say is not written in stone. I am not asking for people to vote for ME, rather the idea that we can all have a voice. I want to work for and with the community of Zone 6, and if they want something different than I think is best, I am humble enough to rethink a position. When I say community, I mean community, not the folks with the deepest pockets. Though, I won't deny that supporters with deep pockets can be great also, but I certainly won't sell a position.
Please share your thoughts, comments, and ideas about what you see posted on the site when it arrives. There is a lot of wisdom out there, and with cooperation, we can make this race important to a lot of people, and help pave the way for significant change and achievement within the district.
I cannot say enough how excited I am.
Thank you!
