"If you have enemies, good. It means you stood for something at least once in your life" - Winston Churchill
It seems odd to think it is good to have enemies, but I don't think that is what Churchill was saying, I think he was more saying that you will undoubtedly upset some people if you stand for something. It is a well known fact that we all won't agree on everything, but its lesser understood that having everyone like you isn't the end all be all.
It is not, nor has it ever been my goal to set out to make enemies, but it has always been, and will continue to be, to stand up for what I believe in, and one of the things I believe in, is kids. I didn't run for school board to make enemies, nor did I run to make friends. I simply ran because I saw a need for parents to get involved in the decisions that affect our kids, and if doing that means people talk, let them. If doing what I believe means people don't like me, let them. My goal in running for school board is to be sure our children are advocated for and we are listening to the concerns of the parents in our district. I will continue to stand on that belief, even if it means I may sometimes stand alone.
Our election is in 4 short days, I have appreciated all the support I have received thus far and would appreciate your vote as we head towards to the finish line. Thank you & God Bless
