Maybe Mark could serve on some CSD/Board committees.

Thanks to everyone for running–it’s a tremendous amount of work–and congratulations to the new Board.

I wish we could have duct taped them together and had both of them – twin school board members. They are both awesome.

Over 300 other people did too so don’t feel foolish! It’s validating to the candidates who are running unopposed–they aren’t just elected because they had no opposition, but because some folks voted FOR them. Someone like Annie Caiola acted like she was “running” even after it was clear that she had no opposition, put a lot of effort into the Candidate Forum, maintained an active website, and has made herself real available to voters. (Plus had an election party last night to which we were all invited.)

I felt a little silly voting when there were no contested races in my district, but I did it anyway. Big or small, contested or uncontested, every election is important.
