Elect Kathie Rooker for HCS School Board - District 4

08/27/2014

Words cannot express the thanks to all my supporters!! All the best to Elisa Farrell and Anson Knowles who made the runoff. A voter sent me the following two days ago: "no matter the outcome of the election, you still have a voice." He is absolutely correct, and I will continue to use my voice to move our district forward in a positive way -- focused on our students, teachers, parents, schools, and communities.

3 Days to Go: As I watched my family out waving at cars today, I thought about how so many have been willing to step out of their comfort zone to support this campaign. My shy friend that knocked on strangers' doors. My unofficial campaign manager that was hesitant about even handling the finances. My husband who has become daddy daycare for so many weeks. My introverted mother who has worked the Bojangles breakfast crowd many times over. The teachers and principals that put a campaign sign in their yard knowing that it might be controversial. Wow! Thank you friends, family, and community members for pushing yourselves and me. Vote Kathie Rooker on August 26th.

On the campaign trail: Loved all the honks, waves, and thumbs up this morning! The best part was when I heard, "Hi, Mrs. Rooker" being yelled from the kids in the backseat.

4 Days to Go: Today I received a phone call from my dad. This is not a common occurrence. He was almost giddy about this election and conveyed how proud he was of me. This is also not a common occurrence. It reminded me that, sometimes in life, it is about the journey and not the destination. This election will be a win regardless of the votes. My hope is for your vote, though, so this journey can continue, and I can make you proud, too, as your school board representative. Vote Kathie Rooker on August 26th.

On the campaign trail: Filed my weekly campaign finance report at the courthouse today. Had the youngest campaigner in this race with me - sweet Jackson! He is my secret weapon.
