To My Friends, Neighbors and Families of District 7,

My name is Jerry Churchwell, and I’m running for the Lewis County Board of Education, District 7.

I want to take a moment to speak to you personally about why this election matters so much to me.

I believe our children deserve the very best opportunities we can give them. I believe our teachers deserve to feel supported, our parents deserve to be heard, and our hardworking taxpayers deserve to know their money is being spent responsibly.

That’s why I decided to run for School Board.

I don't claim to have all the answers, and I certainly don't believe one person can solve every challenge facing our schools. But I do believe that experience, common sense, honest communication and a willingness to listen can make a meaningful difference.

If elected, I want to be someone you can approach with a concern, a question or an idea and know that your voice matters. I want to ask the difficult questions, look carefully at how our tax dollars are spent and make decisions based on what's best for our students and our community, not politics or special interests.

Our schools belong to this community. They help shape the future of our children, our families and Lewis County itself. The decisions made today will affect generations to come, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. The current business of hiring a new Director of Schools is a great example of the responsibility that rests on the board. I am willing and desire to take that on and work alongside a board of people who have the same interest as myself: make sound, meaningful decisions for the betterment and wellness of our schools, our community, and our youth who will go on to become the productive citizens that carry Lewis County on.

Early voting is happening now and ends Thursday, October 29. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.

I hope you'll take the time to learn about the candidates, consider what's important to you and make your voice heard in this election.

It would mean a great deal to me to have the opportunity to serve the families of District 7. I believe we all want the same thing at the end of the day: strong schools, supported teachers, responsible leadership and a brighter future for our children.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for caring about the future of Lewis County Schools.

Jerry Churchwell
Candidate for Lewis County School Board, District 7

Stronger Schools. Stronger Community.
