Argus: "Former trustee sets sights on school board"
(The link is probably only valid for about 2 weeks.)
The presidential primary election has dominated headlines for months, but it's not the only political race weighing on some people's minds. Since September, former Trustee Bryan Gebhardt has been running a Web site announcing his candidacy for November's Fremont school board race.And on Feb. 24, he will kick off his campaign with a party at City Councilmember Anu Natarajan's house. ...
A great way to kick off and publicize the campaign!
Thank you to Trustee Peggy Herndon and Councilmember Anu Natarajan for their endorsements and support. They aren't the only ones. I'll be posting more endorsements to my web site soon.
First Campaign Press!
She also reported that Trustee Herndon has decided not to run and has endorsed me. And I quote:
Her wisdom and compassion will be missed on the board come next December. I truly appreciate Peggy's support.Trustee Peggy Herndon told me today she will not seek a third term. In fact, she said, her decision not to seek re-election made it easier for Gebhardt to decide to run. The two are friends, and Herndon said she’s “wholeheartedly” endorsing him.
She's not my only endorsement. I'll be posting more on that soon.
But will there be Two seats up for grabs? Lin talked to Trustee Ivy Wu about her plans, which are up in the air. I know how difficult the decision is even in the best of health. My family and I wish Ivy the best of luck with her breast cancel check up. She is such a positive person, and I know that will help carry her through anything.
Lin mentioned to me that the Argus blog has just started recently. Check out the Tri-City Beat and add it to your RSS reader to stay on top of the latest local news.
I know it's early, but this election is definitely started! There's a lot of work to get the message out, and it's never too early to start.
