Shannon for Hartwood

01/01/2026

Now that my term has officially started, this campaign page will go dark very soon. It will be re-activated in the event I decide to run for re-election in a few years.

If you are interested in following the work of my official capacity, like or follow the page https://www.facebook.com/HartwoodSBRep
At this time, Hartwood School Board Rep - Shannon Fingerholz is the only social media type page I plan to personally maintain as a school board member.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

The last few weeks have been filled with TONS of learning. I am grateful for the current board and Stafford Schools administration that have included us newbies in school events and spent time teaching us. I haven't taken my oath yet and don't have full access, but this journey has been rolling since just around Noon after election night. I am thankful for their time, energy and knowledge.

Whether you spend this holiday with family, friends, co-workers or quietly alone, I hope your style of Thanksgiving reminds you of someone or something you are thankful for. ❤️ I am thankful you are here ❤️

PTA/PTO not your thing? This is another way to get involved and help add your ideas to what can happen in the schools.

Which of the 11 committees fits with your interests?

I wore a "uniform" everyday starting in Sept. A key part were these green crayon dangly earrings.

They were a gift from a friend and educator that I love dearly 🖍️

Out of everything I did, said or wore... these, by far, received the most attention. 💚

Thank you Kelly!! They sure made an impact. 😃

Wow y’all!! Such a huge success!

Many said there was no chance of winning this race. However, lots of incredible and caring people worked in big and small ways to make this victory happen. We knocked doors, went to events, stood at the polls, spoke to friends, wrote postcards, shared social media posts, and met folks where they were. Always keeping focus on the why, the kids.

I chose to run because Stafford deserves to have of our boards, administrators, families, and community organizations communicating and working together with a goal of seeing our schools thrive.

Thank you to every last volunteer, supporter, educator, student, endorser, and donor who made this win a reality. My appreciation for you is deeper than words can convey. I am forever grateful for the trust and faith you have in me. Thank you to my husband and daughter for your tireless support, love and patience throughout this year. Thank you to the voters for entrusting me with this responsibility.

The real work is just beginning. I am excited to see the other successes we will create together.

Twas the night before election day, when all through county
Every volunteer was planning, packing their snack bounty
The signs were all packed in beds of trucks with care
In hopes that the dirt won’t be such a bear
The literature was all nestled in boxes and bags
With hopes of smooth voting and zero snags
Candidates thinking, is this the end or just the beginning
All their brains just spinning and spinning
No matter the answer, the voters’ voices matter
Win or lose, there will be tons of chatter
My wish is that each person will listen more than talk
And folks promising to do good, will walk the honest walk
Tomorrow I will know if I am elected or not
Either way, you are still my neighbor
And I appreciate you a whole heck of a lot💚

Yesterday I wrote a big THANK YOU in front of my spot at early voting.

Of course for the voters, but also for the other volunteers and candidates that worked through the month and a half of early voting.

We experienced all 4 seasons, sometimes in one day. There were disagreements between some. Sharing of food between others. And watching for cars for all of us.

It is not easy being out there. You are working right next to folks that are actively campaigning for someone that is not you. Our feet get tired and our noses burn.
Signs y'all! Signs and Virginia dirt. IYKYK 😆

Thank you to everyone who was out there with me everyday. Thank you for being a part of democracy and the election process. ❤️🤍💙

THANK YOU for every endorsement, social media share, and conversation with friends!!

To serve a community, the community needs to get to know you. It begins with others speaking your name and sharing why they trust you.

With a grateful heart, thank you to everyone who helped spread the word. 💚💙

Last day of Early Voting is today, Saturday 9-5
