Why you are seeking this office:

John grew up in La Conner and is a proud graduate of its schools. He has three children attending La Conner schools, having been a parent in the district for eight years and looking ahead to another 12. While growing up, John saw his father serve on the school board for many years.

This left a lasting impression of responsibility for the school as a parent and community member. With no current school board members having children attending La Conner schools, John brings a needed perspective. Student needs are his top priority and would take precedence in all decisions.
