State campaign finance restrictions need to apply to off-year elections, which would mean that all Denver city, county, and school board elections would be effected!

Should special interests or individuals with more money be able to influence our election process more than an individual?
I THINK NOT!

I am placing a $400 limit on any one contributor... (The limit on our state congressional elections.)

My Budget for this election will be limited to $5000 (the amount I am allotted as a school board member.)

My expenditures will be $2000 for signs, $125 for Colorado VAN, $500 for printing, $1200 for website, $200 for phone and web hosting, $475 for gas and miscellaneous costs...

WOW! That's $500 (10%) under budget! NOW THAT'S A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC SERVANT!

to Donate $18 (or a multiple of) for good luck!
Any extra I get will go directly to Art, Music, and Physical Fitness programs.

Our last shipment of signs came in.... ESPECIALLY if you live along a bike route or near a school or on a main thouroughfare...
or if you just want one to put out and let your neighbors know how much you believe in Art, Music and Physical Fitness!

I am running the kind of campaign that we all want to see in our country right now.
I am running my campaign in the same manner that I have run our small business...
and in the same manner that I will serve.

As a school board member, I will have to operate with little administrative support,
minimal financial support (a $5000 a year expense account plus phone),
and a whole lot of heart... and community support.

In these fiscally strapped times,
I feel that the set of skills to serve in any elected position has to be vast
because I will be held accountable for each and every decision.


Be Green

We are trying to go as green as possible - please reuse the back of paper that has printing on one side when you follow any of our following GREEN SUGGESTIONS:

  1. Use an old yard sign and put this on it - or just A-AMP your brain and make your own sign.
  2. Print out your own cards and P-AMP your brain by walking around, giving them to your neighbors and encouraging them to make sure and vote on Initiative 103 (raising taxes to pay for public education.) At the same time- check out the longest name in the At-Large race and remember that "In Some Way, we're all Shumway!"
  3. Contact me and let me know what you are doing!!!
    (You could even M-AMP your brain by writing a "poem with rhythm" that you could chant or sing to me.)

Who in their right mind - in this tough economy - would run for this volunteer public servant position? That's right... there is no pay for these school board positions. I believe that our public education system needs some help and creative solutions! "YOU HAVE TO RAISE A LOT OF MONEY to get people to take your campaign seriously..."
Hmm... How much should that be?

What if we really care about getting our kids the education that they all deserve? Shouldn't we be focusing our fundraising efforts on supplying education needs - not on getting ourselves elected?

That said, please contribute a minimal amount to my campaign... I promise to work on public financing for school board elections AND getting funding for Music, Art, and Physical fitness!

I hope you are smiling... and singing, and dancing, and drawing as you learn about our educational system and ways to strategize!
