“I decided to step out in faith
and run for office.” Laura
quotes her parents’ mantra,
“If you aren’t part of the so
lution, then you have to be
part of the problem.” “That’s
a philosophy I have lived
with my entire life.”
Laura has been a teacher with
the SCHS since 1999. “I have
taught my students to be in
volved in your community, to
make a difference. I had no
choice but to practice what I
preach by taking on the City
Council.” Laura is enthusi
astic about working for her
neighbors and friends. “I’m
a voice for the people who
have no voice.” Congratula
tions Laura, we know you
will do great things!
