I voted for Dave Miner in 2012, because I believed he would help to bring reason and oversight to our school district during a very difficult time. After all, he called himself a “Watchdog,” so how could we go wrong?

Unfortunately, I have not been impressed and have even felt angry at times with the direction he has promoted in our district. I am tired of the chaos.

We need someone who will listen to the parents and the community. We need a leader with integrity.

I endorse Misty Servia for the Nov. 8 election because she is the best candidate.
