For the past few weeks, Iโve been fighting a battle very close to home. To everyone who has followed along, supported me, and stood beside me, thank you.
We made headlines. We demanded accountability. We put pressure on a school board and superintendent whose conduct and decisions deserved public scrutiny. And we reminded those in positions of authority that they answer to the people they serve, not the other way around.
I donโt believe this fight is over. But if there is one thing I hope comes from it, itโs this:
Pay attention to what is happening in your own backyard.
Get involved. Ask questions. Demand transparency. Know who youโre electing to your school boards, town councils, and local committees. And more importantly, pay attention to what they do after they get elected.
Too many people focus on what is happening in Washington while overlooking the decisions being made right down the street, decisions that directly affect our children, our families, our communities, and our tax dollars.
Accountability doesnโt start in Washington. It starts at home.
Never underestimate the power of informed, engaged citizens who refuse to look the other way.
And never forget: Public officials work for us. We do not work for them.
