Hope. It is the very wellspring of our life in Manila.

Manila is filled with promises kept of a bright and safe past where we raised our children. It is also evident that the future overflows with abundant promise for the future of our families.

But to keep the promise strongly in place, we must tenaciously guard the morals, traditions, and values we have always employed here in Manila.

As your candidate for Mayor of Manila, I am thrilled to represent US, to lead US, and to join as WE serve our community.

Now that I am retired, serving our community full-time means welcoming ALL citizens to share their ideas, concerns, and opportunities for our town. By having an open-door policy, WE can have conversations whenever possible. TOGETHER We Are Better.

Manila is the hometown I have loved my entire life! Graduating from Manila High School is a strong source of pride for my husband and me. Our children are also proud graduates of MHS, and our grandchildren are current roaring Lions. My family’s roots are deep here and it feels so good to have a generational hometown that means so much.

As a resident, mother, and grandmother, I want the best for ALL generations both current and future.

A bit about my personal history:

During my years in high school, I worked many summer jobs. One of which was working at the Manila Police Department in the Summer Workforce Program. There I found a love for community service and justice. I graduated from Manila High School in 1975 and immediately started my career in law enforcement working for the Blytheville Police Department. Initially assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division, I accepted a transfer to the Records Department and was then promoted to the role of Assistant to the Chief of Police.

My tenure at BPD caused me to solidify my skills in interpersonal dynamics, organizational management, budget management, and special compassion for police officers—and their families. Working alongside judges, lawyers, criminals, and parolees reminded me that we are all humans, and we all need to have accountability for our decisions and actions. As a person of deep and abiding faith, it is imperative that everyone is treated with fairness and remember that justice needs to be served.

My name is Pam Chipman. I am a hometown girl, all grown up, ready to serve as Mayor of OUR town.

We are nearing the end of the race which has consumed our focus for several months. This time of waiting has given me a lot of time to not only consider and remain steadfast in my "why," and also hear what the community's perspective is.

Our school district will only improve if we commit to listening to all stakeholders.

We are united as one here within Manila.

Together we will achieve more.

Thank you for trusting me to represent YOU.

I love this town.

The people here CLEARLY care about me and for that, I am grateful beyond words and measure.

During a time of a personal and very challenging situation, precious people from our community showed up. Some left work. Some messaged from their vacation. Some left the comfort of their homes. Everyone stopped what they were doing because they saw a post or someone shared a text.

All is well now and it's all due to the generosity of time and effort of many who clearly love others within--and outside--our town.

This is yet another example of Lion pride, Lion support.

Thank you, Manila.

Together, we do.

I have struggled to put into words the emotions felt in the aftermath of yet ANOTHER school shooting. My prayers are with these families and community in this time of tragedy.

Our children's safety is of utmost importance and priority to our community at large.

The families of Uvalde felt secure, it's a small quaint town. We can NEVER say "this wouldn't happen here." We must come together and develop strategies to keep our children, our future, SAFE.

We have to keep our teachers, faculty, and staff SAFE. There is a growing shortage of educators -- safety of these individuals who have been called to educate our youth must be a priority. These are the people who we trust daily in our absence with our most treasured beings, without them the school wouldn't be a school.

Teachers are micromanaged yet they show up, smile, and make it great for the kids.

Teachers struggle at times to pay their bills yet they show up ready to make it great for the kids.

Teachers are given limited support when kids verbally, physically, or mentally assault others, yet teachers show up to make it great for the kids.

So as we look for ways to ensure safety for our children, let's not forget the adults who also love our children.

Please join me in continuing to pray for Uvalde, TX.

This morning at church something stood out to me: the anchor.

An anchor is something that keeps us in place, causes us to remain nearwhat grounds us. An anchor keeps us from casting adrift too far from what is safe yet allows us to see new things from safety. An anchor keeps a boat steady when the storms roll in. The waves may toss it around but because the anchor's line goes so deep, the boat won't drift too far.

Then it hit me: our school board is the anchor of our district.

It is there to keep everything and everyone grounded, keep things from swaying too far in one direction or the other.

The current board is doing just this in the midst of storms–keeping us anchored.

I encourage you to vote on Tuesday.
Which candidate do you believe will best anchor our schools? Who will best assist in keeping our schools on course?

I will be your voice at the table, I will support the kids, faculty, staff, and all stakeholders.

Our district is wonderful! Together we can build up one another. Divisiveness has no place in Manila.

Cast your vote on Tuesday, May 24 from 7:30a to 7:30p.
See you at the poll!

It's Time For Early Voting!! Early voting has begun!

You've made your choice of candidates for whom to vote. You've taken your time, you're certain of your choices.
Now it's time to exercise your voice in the process. As a candidate, I remind you of the following:

⚫️My commitments are strong, my campaign has been run cleanly, positively, and with integrity.

⚫️ My platform is simple: I will consider all sides, tempered with what's best for our district, before casting any vote on any issue.

⚫️I am not swayed by “Business As Usual” politics. Gossip has no place around the board’s table. Facts will be considered, how they impact the district, then make decisions best-suited for all stakeholders.

⚫️I am a candidate for seat 6. Third on the list–saving the best for last.

If you need a ride to the polls, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

I am Brooke Chipman.

Anger isn’t driving me to run for the vacant school board seat.

Disdain for what is currently happening within the schools isn’t driving me to run for the vacant school board seat.

Contempt isn’t driving me to run for the current school board seat.

Malice or vengefulness isn’t driving me to run for the vacant school board seat.

SO WHAT IS??

My love of education. The joy when kids completely lock in on learning because it’s been made challenging, fun, and where self-esteem is derived. Seeing staff members work together to build memorable learning experiences.

My intention for running is NOT to engage in anything other than building better schools with other school board members; whoever that maybe.

I am the right candidate for the job. My experience is strong, my commitment is deep, and my integrity is proven.
