There's 'no other choice' but Baker for school board's District 2 seat

On Tuesday, Americans have a very important job to do. They need to get out and vote. Our country has lost its bearings and needs to be guided back on the right course.

In Columbia County, we also have a very important election. We must elect the best-qualified candidate to the school board in District 2. That candidate is Kristi Baker. Make no mistake; there is no other choice.

I, as a parent, am looking for the most experienced and knowledgeable person to fill this very important position. I want this person to have years of experience in our school system, not months. I want this person to know the workings of our system at all levels, elementary, middle and high school. I want this person to know the history of our school system and to intimately know the system's core values. I want this person to be respected by school teachers, administrators, and parents alike. I want this person to have roots in our county, so I know that they plan to make Columbia County their home.

The person I have described is Kristi Baker. As a parent who has stood along side her, volunteering in our schools, for almost a decade, I know in my soul that she is the right person for this job. She cares about our children and their education. She is hard working and ethical. Her passion for Columbia County is endless.

There is no other choice in this election. Please join me and my husband in voting for Kristi Baker on Tuesday.
