Politics

A new journey has begun in my life. My husband decided he wants to run for our school district's governing board. It's a four year position which he has to be elected into office for. I"m excited that he wants to do this because he hasn't been able to get a job as a principal so I feel this would be a great avenue for him to get more educational experience and I think he would find fulfillment in doing. He has a great background in education having been a teacher for the past 15 years. He has a passion for education and he knows what is currently going on in the educational system. In my mind he is the perfect candidate for the job. He just has to beat one incumbent to get the seat.

Now for the journey part. We are diving into unknown waters. We are running a campaign. We are raising funds, getting endorsements, creating websites, donation options and now getting involved with the Republican party. Luckily we have a city councilmen helping us every step of the way. We went to our first meeting tonight where my husband was officially endorsed by the Republican Party. It's all very exciting but also opening our eyes to this whole new world of politics. Our lives will never be the same because I know my husband will now become active in the party and it will become a part of our lives. I"m a Democratic who leans close to the Republican side but I"m not ready to give up my voter status. Luckily he is running for a non-partisan position so I don't have to pledge my allegiance to the Republicans just yet. I know this is just the beginning of journey as I see him pursuing higher levels of educational political offices in the years to come. I support him 100% but only time will tell where our journey will lead us. First things first... winning in November.
