Labor Day provides an important moment to honor the American workers whose dedication strengthens our schools, our city, and our nation. First established in the late nineteenth century through the efforts of labor advocates, the holiday recognizes the social and economic contributions that sustain community well‑being and support opportunity for all. As we conclude the summer season, we reaffirm the dignity of work and express appreciation for those who serve our community each day. Wishing everyone a restful Labor Day.

Something you'll all discover about Natalie Bray: she is incredibly thoughtful and intentional with every decision she makes regarding her race. Always striving to do best by those around her. We think the world could use a few more people who think like her!

And peep that sign for Dr. Betty Spencer!

Quality over quantity — that's my philosophy when it comes to yard signs.

I could blanket every corner of District 8 with signs, but that's not what this campaign is about for me. What matters more are the sincere conversations and relationships I'm building with neighbors as I knock on doors and listen to their concerns and questions about our schools.

When someone puts my sign in their yard, it means something — it's not just visibility, it's validation from a neighbor or friend who knows me and trusts where I stand.

I've also really enjoyed getting to know the other candidates running for School Board and learning about their communities. Fun fact: Elect Dr. Betty Spencer Virginia Beach City School Board District 10 grew up in Malibu, and her mom, Evelyn (pictured here) still lives in District 8!

Even my kids have noticed my approach. They've told me they think it's better — for the beauty of our neighborhoods and our environment too. Fewer signs, more heart.

I'm grateful for every single conversation on this journey. 💛

"Signs don't win School Board elections." School Board elections are won with the support of friends who advocate for strong public schools!

Chris Lewis for School Board is the only candidate in District 2 who has public school teaching experience, and we think that matters. A lot.

Dr. Spencer is a former educator and Union member! We know she will have our backs.

District 10, this is an important race! If you want someone with an education background representing you on school board, who knows how to put students AND educators first, then you need to vote for Dr. Betty Spencer!
