My work and everyone’s help in April paid off- I was appointed to the City Council last night! Electing the new mayor, Tim Reed, left a vacant spot, and three of us applied for it. I look forward to serving Brookings!

Also, for those of you who live in Brookings, I really hope you’ll remember to go vote for me tomorrow! I truly feel it’s important for the City Council to have a variety of backgrounds and opinions, not to mention being pro-active and wise with our resources. Some of the requests I’ve received, which I […]

Speaking of empowered women in the political world, it’s been interesting to watch things unfold after John McCain introduced his running mate. Even being as interested in the campaign world as I am, I too will be tired of the mud-slinging by November, but regardless of your political persuasion, I think it’s hard to refute […]

Carol is running for the State House of Representatives for District 7 (Brookings/Volga). I share many of her values, so if you’re from Brookings and registered (if you’re not registered, then you should totally do so- there’s still time!!), I encourage you to give her your vote!
(Who said campaign materials had to be boring?)

Isaac is a valued friend of mine, and running for State Senate from Aberdeen. I’ve known him for a few years now, and it’s been so neat to see him grow and totally embrace this calling. Good luck, my friend. Throughout our little session, he kept telling me to stop using angles and artistic […]

Ryan is running for Brookings City Council- give him your vote April 7th! I think the council could use a person like Ryan, to give some new ideas and lend the perspective of a younger Brookings resident. (And I’ll vouch for both his values, and vision.) Random side-note: if this gives you the […]
