Kate's Statement from 2006
My candidacy is the culmination
of many years as an involved parent and supporter of Livermore Schools.
My volunteer service includes:
- Dollar-A-Day Campaign founder
- Livermore Valley Education Foundation (LVEF) President
- Math tutor
- Oversight Committee for Measure D (the parcel tax passed
in 2005)
- Portola Elementary School Site Council member
My husband of twenty-four years and I have two children, both of whom
have attended public schools. My son just started college and my daughter
is a student at Junction Avenue Middle School. After graduating from University
of Washington, I served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force.
Having worked as a parent volunteer in and on behalf of Livermore schools
for a number of years, I feel well prepared for the position of School
Board Member. This job will present new challenges and opportunities.
If elected, I look forward to:
- Keeping the district fiscally sound
- Improving student performance
- Retaining and recruiting the best personnel possible

November election. My election committee and I are relying on the generosity

will win a seat on the School Board, where I plan to continue working
to improve educational opportunities for the students of Livermore. Thank
