Although the results of this election did not go in my favor, I am deeply humbled and grateful for every vote, every kind word, every door knocked, every sign placed, every donation, and every hour volunteered. To everyone who supported me throughout this campaign, please know how much your encouragement and belief in me have meant.
Congratulations to John Ocheltree on his victory, and to Daniel Whitmire on his win in the Beverley Manor District. I’m especially grateful that, with Dan’s election, an ACPS parent’s voice will continue to be represented on the board.
To my family — Rebecca and Owen — thank you for your love, patience, and unwavering support. I could not have made it through these past six months without you by my side. This journey has been an opportunity to teach my seven-year-old about integrity, honesty, and character, and that those qualities are far more important than winning any race.
As my time on the Augusta County School Board comes to a close, my commitment to our children, our schools, and our community remains steadfast. The issues we’ve worked hard to address — school safety, academic outcomes, and support for teachers and families — remain vitally important. I have every confidence that those continuing this work will carry it forward with dedication and purpose.
Finally, I want to thank the Lord for guiding me throughout this journey and placing me in a position of service. I pray for His continued favor and protection over our schools, our children, and our community.
